Oh, the Wind and Rain
Okkervil River

There were two sisters

Come walkin' down the stream

Oh, the wind and rain

The one behind pushed the other one in

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


Johnny gave the youngest one a gay gold ring

Oh, the wind and rain

Didn't give the oldest one anything

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


Sister, oh sister, give me thy hand

Oh, the wind and rain

You can have Johnny and all his land

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


Sister, I'll not give you my hand

Oh, the wind and rain

And I'll have Johnny and all his land

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


She pushed her into the river to drown

Oh, the wind and rain

Watched her as she floated down

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


She floated 'till she came to a miller's pond

Oh, the wind and rain

And father, oh father, there swims a swan

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


The miller pulled her out with a fishing hook

Oh, the wind and rain

Drew that fair maid from the brook


Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


He left her on the banks to dry

Oh, the wind and rain

And a fiddlin' fool come passing by

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


Out of the woods came a fiddler fair

Oh, the wind and rain

Took seven strands of her long yellow hair

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


And he made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair

Oh, the wind and rain

He made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


And he made fiddle pegs of her little finger bones

Oh, the wind and rain

He made fiddle pegs of her little finger bones

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


And he made a little fiddle of her breast bone

Oh, the wind and rain

The sound could melt a heart of stone

Cryin' oh, the dreadful wind and rain


And the only tune that fiddle would play

Was oh, the wind and rain

The only tune that fiddle would play

Was oh, the dreadful wind and rain
