lyrics

1.
There was an old woman,
lived by the seashore.

Refrain A
Bow and balance to me.

There was an old woman,
lived by the seashore—
a number of daughters,
one, two, three, four.

Refrain B
And I’ll be true to my love,
if my love’ll be true to me.

2.
There was a young man,
come there to see them.
Ref. A
There was a young man,
come there to see them
and the oldest one
got stuck on him.
Ref. B

He got for the youngest
a beaver hat.
Ref. A
He got for the youngest
a beaver hat
and the oldest one
got mad at that.

O sister, O sister,
come walk the seashore.
Ref. A
O sister, O sister,
come walk the seashore
and see the ships
as they’re sailing o’er.

And as these two sisters
were walking the shore.
Ref. A
And as these two sisters
were walking the shore,
the oldest pushed
the youngest o’er.
Ref. B

O sister, O sister,
please lend me your hand.

O sister, O sister,
please lend me your hand
and you shall have Willy
and all his land.
Ref. B

I never, I never will
lend you my hand.
Ref. A
I never, I never will
lend you my hand
and I shall have Willy
and all of his land.

8.
Sometime she sank and
sometime she swam.
Ref. A
Sometime she sank and
sometime she swam,
’til she came to
the old Mill Dam.
Ref. B

9.
The Miller, he go out
his fishing hook.
Ref. A
The Miller, he go out
his fishing hook and
he fished the maiden
out of the brook.
Ref. B

O Miller, O Miller,
here’s five gold rings.
Ref. A
O Miller, O Miller,
here’s five gold rings
to push the maiden
in again.
Ref. B

The Miller received
those five gold rings.

The Miller received
those five gold rings
and he pushed the maiden
in again.
Ref. B

The Miller was hung
in the old Mill Gate.

The Miller was hung
in the old Mill Gate
for drowning
little sister Kate.
