There were two sisters side by side
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
There were two sisters side by side
The boys are born for me
There were two sisters side by side
The eldest for young johnny cried
I'll be true for my love
If he'll be true to me
Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring...
He never bought the eldest a single thing...
Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat...
The eldest never thought much of that...
As they were walking by the foamy brim...
The eldest pushed the youngest in...
Sister, oh sister give me thy hand...
And you can have johnny and all his land...
Sister I won't give you my hand...
And I'll have johnny and all his land...
So there she sank and away she swam...
Until she came to the miller's dam...
Miller took away her gay gold ring...
And then he pushed her in again...
Miller he was hanged on the mountain head...
The eldest sister was boiled in lead...
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
There were two sisters side by side
The boys are born for me
There were two sisters side by side
The eldest for young johnny cried
I'll be true for my love
If he'll be true to me
Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring...
He never bought the eldest a single thing...
Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat...
The eldest never thought much of that...

The eldest pushed the youngest in...

And you can have johnny and all his land...
Sister I won't give you my hand...
And I'll have johnny and all his land...

[Intro:]
Throughout history
There've been many songs written about the eternal triangle
This next one tells the story of a Mr Grayson, a beautiful woman
And a condemned man named Tom Dooley...
When the sun rises tomorrow, Tom Dooley... must hang...
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain
There I took her life
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley...
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't a-been for Grayson
I'd a-been in Tennessee
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley...
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Down in some lonesome valley
Hangin' from a white oak tree
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley...

Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away!
Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!
For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
Just in case you feel you wanna’ hold her,
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight!
Catch a falling star ....
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder ....
Catch a falling star ....
For when your troubles startn’ multiplyin’,
An' they just might!
It’s easy to forget them without tryin’,
With just a pocketful of starlight!
