Adam and Eve Adam and Eve could never believe that Peter the miller was dead Shut up in a tower for stealing a flower And never could get a relief And never could get a relief They bored a hole in Oliver's nose and pulled therein a string And drew him around about the town For murdering Charles our King For murdering Charles our King Adam and Eve could never believe that Peter the miller was dead Shut up in a tower for stealing a flower And never could get a relief And never could get a relief ---------------------------------------------------------------- recorded by Tim Hart & Maddy Prior on "Folk Songs of Olde England Vol.1" (1968)Oliver in the second verse is Oliver Cromwell, leader of the Parliamentary Forces in the English Civil War who executed King Charles I in 1642.MJ
