[VERSE 1:]
    G                           C                G
Oh, there were two sisters come walking down the stream
Am      C            D/F#
Oh, the wind and the rain
    G                      C
And one of them pushed the other one in
     Am      C              D/F#
But, oh, the cruel wind and rain


[VERSE 2:]
  G                              C        G
A soldier gave the younger one a gay gold ring
Am      C            D/F#
Oh, the wind and the rain
G                            C
Didn't give the older one anything
     Am      C              D/F#
But, oh, the cruel wind and rain


[VERSE 3:]
    G                        C        G
She pushed her sister in the river to drown
Am      C            D/F#
Oh, the wind and the rain
    G                  C
And watched her as she floated on down
     Am      C              D/F#
But, oh, the cruel wind and rain


[VERSE 4:]
    G                            C        G
She floated 'til she came to the miller's pond
Am      C            D/F#
Oh, the wind and the rain
    G                  C
And father, oh father, there swims a swan
Am      C              D/F#
Oh, the cruel wind and rain


[VERSE 4:]
          G                          C        G
Well, the miller laid her out on the banks to dry
Am      C            D/F#
Oh, the wind and the rain
        G                    C
And the fiddlin' fool come a-passing by
       Am      C              D/F#    D7/F#
Cried, oh, the cruel wind and rain

     G                        C       G
Yes, way down the road come a fiddler fair
Am      C            D/F#
Oh, the wind and the rain
         G                          C
And he's made fiddle strings of her long yellow hair
       Am      C              D/F#
Cried, oh, the cruel wind and rain


[VERSE 6:]
         G                     C         G
And he's made a fiddle body of her fresh bones
Am      C            D/F#
Oh, the wind and the rain
      G                  C
Whose sound would melt a heart of stone
     Am      C              D/F#
And, oh, the cruel wind and rain


[VERSE 7:]
        G                  C            G
But the only tune that the fiddle could play
     Am      C            D/F#
Was, oh, the wind and the rain
    G              C
The only tune that fiddle could play
     Am      C              D/F#    D7/F#
Was, oh, the cruel wind and rain


[OUTRO:] G   C  G   Am   D/F#
             G              C
         The only tune that fiddle could play
              Am      C              G
         Was, oh, the cruel wind and rain
