Peggy Seeger sings the English murder ballad 'The Two Sisters' (Child #10) from the 1958 Kapp album 'Alan Lomax Presents Folk-Song Saturday Night'. This song is also known as 'The Cruel Sister' or 'The Twa Sisters' and has been recorded by everyone from Bob Dylan and Pentangle to Tom Waits and Julie Fowlis. Seeger herself recorded another version called 'O The Wind and the Rain'.
NOTE: In the video, I portrayed the older (cruel) sister in the song with a picture of Peggy Seeger (forgive me) in a dark top, the younger sister with the picture of her in white, and the singer of the refrain "I'll be true to my love ..." as a second picture of Peggy in a dark top. I input a WAV (lossless ) audio file to the video to perhaps improve the sound and I eliminated the one major audio imperfection in the song.
