D

There was an old miller and he lived alone

A D

Had three sons all fully grown

G D

When the time came to make out his will

D A D

All he had left was a little grist mill.

D A D

Refrain: Singin' fol-dig-a-di-oh, Fol dig-a-day.

He called to him his eldest son

Said, "son, oh son my race is run

If I a miller of you make

Pray tell me what toll you take?"

Father, oh father my name is Bill

Out of each bushel I'd take a gill

You fool you fool the old man cries

On such a little you'll never get a rise.

He called to him his, second son

Said, "son oh son my race is run

If I a miller of you make

Pray tell me what toll you'd take?"

Father, oh father my name is, Ralph

Out of each bushel I'd take half

Not enough, not enough the old man said

Such a little you'd never get ahead.

He called to him his youngest son

Said, "son oh son my race is run

If I a miller of you make

Pray tell me what toll you would take?"

Father, oh father my name is Paul

Out of each bushel I'd take all

Hallelujah, the old man cried

Then he turned up him toes, and he died.

They buried him in a little box grave

Some do not think his soul was saved

Where he went I could not say

But I rather believe he went the other way.
