Verse

As they grew older, their mother grew to love them

She couldn’t bear to cut their hair

As it grew longer, they grew apart

Only they knew they shared one heart

Their blood flowed

Through their long red hair

They never thought to cut it

They wouldn’t dare

Chorus

The sisters laid there

Each loved the things the other couldn’t bare

The only thing that they shared

Was that they were connected by the ends of their long red hair

Verse

One day the fair skinned sister met a man

While our rosy sister was their new stand

They fell in love at first sight

Soon they will marry, and on their wedding night

Chorus

The sisters lay there

One loved the man, the other didn’t care

The only thing that they shared

Was that they were connected by the ends of their long red hair

Verse

The man began to kiss his wife

He intended to perform, the marriage right

But the rosy sister was still insight

Though far across the room, their hair pulled tight

The man could not perform so he left her room

But he returned very soon.

He pulled out the scissors he fetched from the kitchen

And he cut their hair right underneath her. (Screaming)

Chorus

The sister lay there

Blood poured from the ends of their hair

Now they both looked fair

That’s the only thing that they shared

(Slow)

Except the both had white hair

End
