Same old man livin at the mill 
Dm 
The mill turns around of its own free will 
Dm                         C 
Hand in the hopper and the other in the sack 
Dm                          C          Dm 
Ladies step forward and the gents fall back

Then said the owl with his head all a white

A lonesome day and a lonesome night

I thought I heard a pretty girl say 
Dm                        C         Dm 
I court all night and you sleep all day

Then said the raven as she flew 
Dm 
If I was a young man, I'd have two 
Dm                             C 
One for to knit and one for to sew 
Dm                          C                Dm 
And I'd have a little ribbon to my bow, bow, bow

This old mill grinds day and night
