THE MILLER OF THE DEE.

There was a jolly miller once lived on the river Dee.
he danced and sang from morn till night, no lark so blithe as he;
And this the burden of his song forever used to be:
"I care for nobody, no, not I, if nobody cares for me."

I live by my mill, God bless her, she's kindred, child and wife,
I would, not change my station for any other in life;
No lawyer, surgeon, or doctor, ever had a groat from me,
"I care for nobody, no, not I, if nobody cares for me."

When Spring begins his merry career, oh, how his heart grows gay,
No Summer drought alarms his fears, nor Winters cold decay;
No foresight mars the miller's joy who's wont to sing and say:
"Let others toil from year to year, I live from day to day."

Thus like the miller, bold and free, let us rejoice and sing.
The days of youth are made for glee, and time is on the wing;
This song shall pass from me to thee, along the jovial ring.
With heart and voice let all agree to say: "Long live the king."
