Old Man at the Mill

Lyrics

[Chorus] Same old man working at the mill The mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in the sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back [Verse 1] Down sat the owl, his head all while Lonesome day and a lonesome night Thought I heard a pretty girl say Work all night and sleep next day [Chorus] Same old man working at the mill The mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in the sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back [Verse 2] Oh my, said the raven as she flew If I was a young man I'd have two One for to fetch and the other for to sew I'd have a little string for my bow, bow, bow [Chorus] Same old man working at the mill The mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in the sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Same old man working at the mill The mill turns around of its own free will Hand in the hopper and the other in the sack Ladies step forward and the gents fall back
