<br>

MRS JOHNSTONE <br>

TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE <br>

SAY IT'S JUST A STORY <br>

<br>

NARRATOR <br>

SO DID Y' HEAR THE STORY <br>

OF THE JOHNSTONE TWINS? <br>

AS LIKE EACH OTHER AS TWO NEW PINS <br>

OF ONE WOMB BORN, ON THE SELF SAME DAY, <br>

HOW ONE WAS KEPT AND ONE GIVEN AWAY? <br>

<br>

AN' DID YOU NEVER HEAR HOW THE JOHNSTONES DIED, <br>

NEVER KNOWING THAT THEY SHARED ONE NAME, <br>

TILL THE DAY THEY DIED, WHEN A MOTHER CRIED <br>

MY OWN DEAR SONS LIE SLAIN. <br>

<br>

AN DID Y' NEVER HEAR OF THE MOTHER SO CRUEL, <br>

THERE'S A STONE IN PLACE OF HER HEART? <br>

THEN BRING HER ON AND COME JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES <br>

HOW SHE CAME TO PLAY THIS PART.<br>

<br>
