Long Red Hair

This is a scream along!

Born on a bitter winter night

Their mother screamed at the sight.

The doctor yelled "it isn't right!"

He left them alone in fright

For hours.

The sisters lay there

One was rosy and one was fair

The only thing that they shared

Is that they were connected

By the ends of their long red hair.

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

What only they knew is that they shared one heart

Their blood flowed through their long red hair

They never thought to cut it, they wouldn't dare.

The sisters lived there

Each loved the things

The other couldn't bear

The only thing that they shared

Is that they were connected

By the ends of their long red hair.

One day the fair skinned sister met a man

While the rosy sister was at a news stand

They fell in love at first start

Soon they were married and on their wedding night

The sisters lay there

One loved the man but the other didn't care

The only thing that they shared

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

The man began to kiss his wife

He intended to perform the marriage right

But the rosy sister was still in sight

From 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 pinched from the kitchen

And cut their hair down the middle

The sisters lay there

Blood, poured from the ends of their hair

Now they both looked fair

In fact 'was the only thing that they shared

Except that they both had white hair
