Minorie Ewan MacColl (child 10)

Minorie Ewan MacColl The Real MacColl Child Ballad #10 Commonly known as the Twa Sisters or the Cruel Sister. Francis Child collected 25 various versions of this song and there are even more versions in other languages. From Wikipedia "Two sisters go down by a body of water, sometimes a river and sometimes the sea. The older one pushes the younger in and refuses to pull her out again; generally the lyrics explicitly state her intent to drown her younger sister. Her motive, when included in the lyrics, is sexual jealousy — in some variants, the sisters are being two-timed by a suitor; in others, the elder sister's affections are not encouraged by the young man. In a few versions, a third sister is mentioned, but plays no significant role in events. In most versions, the older sister is described as dark, while the younger sister is fair. When the murdered girl's body floats ashore, someone makes a musical instrument out of it, generally a harp or a fiddle, with a frame of bone and the girl's "long yellow hair" (or "golden hair") for strings. The instrument then plays itself and sings about the murder. In some versions, this occurs after the musician has taken it to the family's household, so that the elder sister is publicly revealed (sometimes at her wedding to the murdered girl's suitor) as the murderess. It should be noted that the variant titled The Two Sisters typically omits the haunted instrument entirely, ending instead with an unrelated person (often a miller) executed for robbing the murdered girl's corpse and the elder sister presumably going unpunished." Lyrics - There lived twa sisters in ain bower Minorie o minorie And there come a young man to be their wooer On the bonnie dam sides a' Minorie. He coorted the eldest wi a' his land Minorie o minorie He coorted the youngest wi his recht hand On the bonnie dam sides a' Minorie. He gied the eldest a brooch and ring Minorie o minorie But he looed the younger aboon a' thing On the bonnie dam sides a' Minorie. He coorted the elder wi' his pen knife Minorie o minorie But he looed the youngest aboon his life On the bonnie dam sides a' Minorie. Oh sister oh sister you'll gang to the broom Minorie o minorie To hear the blackbird change his tune And we'll maybe see the lads o' Minorie They walk'ed up and they walk'ed doon Minorie o Minorie And thrice the blackbird changed his tune But they never saw the lads o' Minorie Oh sister oh sister ye'll gang to the dam Minorie o Minorie To see oor faither's ships be comin' in To the bonnie dam sides a' Minorie. They went to the dam and they stood on a stain Minorie o Minorie And the elder danged the youngest in To the bonnie dam sides of Minorie Oh she swam up and she swam doon Minorie o Minorie Till she swam te whaur her sister did stand On the bonnie dam sides o' Minorie. Oh sister oh sister tak me by the hand Minorie o Minorie An' ye'll get the miller lad and a' his land He's the bonnie miller lad o' Minorie. It wasne for that that I danged ye in Minorie o Minorie But ye was fair and I was dun And ye'll droon in the dams o' Minorie. The miller's ae dochter's gaed to the dam Minorie o Minorie For water to wash her faither's hand By the bonnie dam sides o' Minorie. Oh Faither, oh Faither fish in the dam Minorie o Minorie For there's either a maid or a milk white swan Has drooned in the dams o' Minorie. There was nain o' them a' kent her face sae fair Minorie o Minorie But weel kent the miller by her bonnie yellow hair Twas his ain bonnie lass o' Minorie.
