Ian Matthews - Old Man At The Mill lyrics

Traditional Same old man workin' at the mill Mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in a sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back. 'Down' - said the owl, his head all white 'Lonesome day and a lonesome night' 'Thought I heard a pretty girl say' 'Work all night and sleep next day'. Same old man workin' at the mill Mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in a sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back. 'My' - said raven as she flew 'If I was a young man, I'd have two' 'One for to watch and the other for to sew' 'I'd have a little string for my bow, bow, bow'. Same old man workin' at the mill Mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in a sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back. My old man's in Kalamazoo He don't wear no 'yes I do' First to the left and then to the right This old mill grinds day and night. Same old man workin' at the mill Mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in a sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back.
