Two Sisters (两姐妹) - Andrew Bird (Andrew Wegman Bird)[00:00:00]
Two young sisters are walking alone[00:00:37]
By the pale muddy waters[00:00:42]
Two young sisters are walking alone[00:00:46]
By the pale muddy waters of Onion town[00:00:51]
When one of them pushed the younger in[00:00:57]
Into the cold rain waters[00:01:02]
Pushed her sister and watched her drown[00:01:06]
In the cold muddy froth on the river[00:01:11]
And she floated up and she floated down[00:01:29]
To pale she was as the water[00:01:34]
Floated down till she washed down shore[00:01:39]
On the pale muddy banks of Onion town[00:01:44]
With wolves by night and the sun by day[00:01:49]
Nothing was left but bones and hair[00:01:55]
Bones and hair which are both more fair[00:02:00]
Than the pale muddy banks of the river[00:02:04]
Luke his son was deaf in rain[00:02:26]
Carried her home her tiny frame[00:02:31]
Father father I hear her cry[00:02:38]
"how can that be " he said "bones don't cry" he said[00:02:43]
Besides you're deaf[00:02:50]
But he thought there must be something to these bones[00:02:53]
So he made a fiddle out of her breast bone[00:02:55]
Made some pegs out of her finger bone[00:03:03]
Made a bow out of her leg bone[00:03:08]
And from her yellow hair he strum[00:03:15]
The strings that would have her story sung[00:03:19]
And sometime later [00:03:23]
One old woman was walking alone[00:03:27]
By the pale muddy waters[00:03:32]
She heard the strings of the sweet fiddle cry[00:03:36]
"Cruel sister why have you drowned me "[00:03:41]
Upon her rock the deaf boy played[00:03:46]
Oh the bows of Onion[00:03:51]
And into the water the cruel sister ran[00:03:55]
But she sank just like any old stone[00:04:00]
