Title:	Dreadful Wind and Rain

E                           A
There were two sisters came walkin' down the stream,
D
Oh the wind and rain,
E
The one behind pushed the other in,
       B       C#m      D        E
Cryin' "Oh the dreadful wind and rain."

Johnny gave the youngest a gay gold ring,
Oh the wind and rain,
Didn't give the oldest anything,
Cryin' "Oh the dreadful wind and rain."

They pushed her into the river to drown,
Oh the wind and rain,
And watched her as she floated down,
Cryin' "Oh the dreadful wind and rain."

Floated 'til she came to a miller's pond,
Oh the wind and rain,
Mama oh father there swims a swan,
Cryin' "Oh the dreadful wind and rain."

The miller pushed 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,
Cryin' "Oh the wind and rain,"
And a fiddlin' fool came passin' by,
Cryin' "Oh the dreadful wind and rain."

Out of the woods came a fiddler fair,
Oh the wind and rain,
Took 30 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."

He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones,
Oh the wind and rain,
He made fiddle pegs of her long 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."
