In good old colony times,
When we served under the king,
Three roguish chaps
fell in to mishaps
because they could not sing.
|
Because they could not sing
Because they could not sing
Three roguish chaps
Fell into mishaps
Because they could not sing.
|
The first he was a miller,
And the second he was a weaver,
And the third he was a tailor,
Three roguish chaps together.
|
Because they could not sing
Because they could not sing
Three roguish chaps
Fell into mishaps
Because they could not sing.
|
Now the miller he stole corn
The weaver he stole yarn
And the little tailor
stole broadcloth for
To keep these rogues warm
|
Because they could not sing
Because they could not sing
Three roguish chaps
Fell into mishaps
Because they could not sing.
|
The miller got drown'd in his dam
The weaver got hung in his yarn
And the devlid clapp'd
his claw on the little tailor
With the broadcloth under his arm.,
