There were two sisters came walking down the street
Oh wind and rain
The elder sister pushed the other in
Oh wind and rain, the dreadful wind and rain, wind and rain.

She pushed her in the river, the river to drown
Oh wind and rain

She watched as she floated, floated on down
Oh wind and rain, the dreadful wind and rain, wind and rain.

Johnny gave the younger a gay, golden ring
Oh wind and rain

He didn't give the elder one anything
Oh wind and rain, the dreadful wind and rain, wind and rain

She floated till she came to the miller's pond
Oh wind and rain

Father, oh father there swims a swan

Oh wind and rain, the dreadful wind and rain, wind and rain

He pulled her out with a line and a hook
Oh wind and rain
He drew a fair maiden out of the brook
Oh wind and rain, the dreadful wind and rain, wind and rain

Way down the road cam a fiddler fair
Oh wind and rain
He took 30 strands from her long yellow hair
Oh wind and rain, the dreadful wind and rain, wind and rain

He's made a little fiddle of her breast bone
Oh wind and rain
Whose sound would melt a heart of stone
Oh wind and rain, the dreadful wind and rain, wind and rain

Wind and rain
Wind and rain
Wind and rain
