The Miller Boy

A Song Remembered by My Great-Grandma Bessie Brooks

One possible version, which may have been sung to her by her mother

Happy was th miller boy
That lived by th mill
Th mill went around
With a free good will
Hand in th hopper
An' th other in th sack
Ladies step forward
An' th gents all back

Four in th ring
An' I can't jump Josie
Four in th ring
An' I can't jump Joe
Four in a ring
An' I can't jump Josie
Hello, Suzy Brown

Look down th road
An' I seen Sal a'com'n
Look down th road
An' I seen Sal a'com'n
Look down th road
An' I seen Sal a'com'n
Hello, Suzy Brown
