Verse
Born on a bitter winter night
Their mother screamed at the sight
The doctor yelled, It isnt right!
He left them alone in fright for hours
Chorus
The sisters lay there
One was rosy and one was fair
The only thing that they shared
Was that they were connected by the ends of their long red hair
Verse
As they grew older, their mother grew to love them
She couldnt 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 wouldnt dare
Chorus
The sisters laid there
Each loved the things the other couldnt 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 didnt 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
Thats the only thing that they shared
(Slow)
Except the both had white hair
