Child 10
The Twa Sisters
Version K

Mr. G.R. Kinloch's papers, Kinloch Manuscripts, II, 59. From Mrs. Lindores.

Narrative

1   'O sister, sister, gie me your hand,
      Binnorie and Binnorie
And I'll give the half of my fallow-land,
      By the bonnie mill-dams of Binnorie.'
* * * * *
2   The first time the bonnie fiddle played,
      Binnorie and Binnorie
'Hang my sister, Alison,' it said,
      'At the bonnie mill-dams of Binnorie.'
