"The Two Brothers", also known as "Two Pretty Boys" or "The Rolling of the Stones" is a Scottish and English Ballad. It appears in F. J. Child's English and Scottish Popular Ballads as #49. It is also in the Roud Folk Song Index as #38. Many traditional recordings of the ballad were made in Scotland in the twentieth century, mostly from members of two particular traveller families. Notable performers include Jeannie Robertson, her daughter Lizzie Higgins and nephew Stanley Robertson,as well as Belle Stewart (on the album O'er his Grave the Grass Grew Green, 1988) and her daughter Sheila Stewart (on The Muckle Sangs, 1975). The majority of traditional recordings were made in the United States. Alan Lomax's recordings of Clay Walters (1937), Texas Gladden (1941) and her brother Hobart Smith (1942) are among several Appalachian recordings. Texas Gladden and Hobart Smith's recordings were eventually released on Texas Gladden, Ballad Legacy (2001) and Hobart Smith, Blue Ridge Legacy (2001) respectively. It was also recorded by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger on Two-Way Trip (1961), Silly Wizard on Caledonia's Hardy Sons (1978), Nic Jones on Nic Jones (1971) and Alasdair Roberts on No Earthly Man (2005). This version was transcribed from Mrs. Lizzie Roberts and Mrs. Smith at Hot Springs, NC in 1916 by Cecil Sharp. It is the first version printed in his English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians.
