THE JOLLY MILLER
Early 18th C. English folk song
Key: F#m
Time: 6/8

  1*  -2*-2* -2 1* -3  -3
There was a jol-ly mil-ler
 3*   -4   -3 -2*  3* -2 -2*
Once Lived on the riv-er Dee
1*   -2*  -2*  -2   1*   -3   -3    3*
He worked and sang from morn till night
-4  -3   -2*   3*    -2  -2*
No lark more blithe than he
-3-4 4*   4*  4* -3  -4 -4   -4
And this the bur-den of his song
 3* -3 -2* -4  -3 -33*
For ev-er used to be
1* -2* -2* -2 -1* 1* -3 -3  3*
I care for no-bod-y, no not I 
-4  -3  3*-2*  3*  -2 -2*
And no-bod-y cares for me
