The maid gaed tae the mill ae nicht
sae wanton, sae wanton
The maid gaed tae the mill ae night
Hi sae wanton she
The maid gaed tae the mill ae night
She swore by moon and stars sae bricht
That she would get her corn grun'
Mill and multure free
Then oot an' cam' the miller's man (3x)
Says he I'll dae the best I can
Fir tae get her corn grun'
He's laid her doon upon a sack
Her maidenhead's gaed wi' a crack
Richt well she got her corn grun'
It's easy up and easy doon
She scarce could tell her corn was grun'
Richt well she got her corn grun'
|
When twenty weeks were passed and gone
This fair young maid grew pale and wan
Fir gettin' a' her corn grun'
When forty weeks were passed and gone
This fair young maid brought forth a son
Because she'd gat her corn grun'
This young man maun hae a nurse
This young man he'll draw oot his purse
Because he has her corn grun'
