(Trad)
I am a miller tae my trade and that sae weel ye ken oh
I am a miller tae my trade and that sae weel ye ken oh
I am a miller tae my trade, and mony's the sack o' meal I've made
And mony's the lassie I hae laid at the back o' the sacks o' meal oh
It happened ae nicht in June when I was in my cell oh
It happened ae nicht in June when I was in my cell oh
It happened ae nicht in June, a lassie cam' trippin' doon the lane
I thocht that I would just look in tae see if you're in yoursel' oh
You're welcome here my bonnie lass, sae welcome here for aye oh
You're welcome here my bonnie lass, sae welcome here for aye oh
You're welcome here my bonnie lass, and what's the news that I maun hear
Gin ye'll consent tae bide wi' me and bide wi' me for aye oh
The larkin' lassie gie'd a smile, said she couldnae tell oh
The larkin' lassie gie'd a smile, said she couldnae tell oh
The larkin' lassie gie'd a smile, Young man ye'll hae tae wait awhile
When you hear the mill a-clatterin' in ye'll hae me tae yoursel' oh
I kissed her lips as sweet as honey, sweet as honey-dew oh
I kissed her lips as sweet as honey, sweet as honey-dew oh
I kissed her lips as sweet as honey, until a tear cam' in her e'e
I'd leave my mammy a' for thee and be your ain for aye oh
As merrily as the wheel goes round the rate sae weel ye ken oh
As merrily as the wheel goes round the rate sae weel ye ken oh
As merrily as the wheel goes round with grinding peas and corn oh
A better job was never foond since ever I was born oh
Repeat 1
