"In Good Old Colony Times"

1. |
In good old colony times,
When we were under the king.
Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps,
Because they could not sing,
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because they could not sing,
Because they could not sing,
Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps,
Because they could not sing.

2. |
The first he was a miller,
And the second he was a weaver,
And the third he was a little tailor,
Three roguish chaps together. |
|
|
|
|
|
Three roguish chaps together,
Three roguish chaps together,
And the third he was a tailor,
Three roguish chaps together.

3. |
Now the miller he stole corn,
And the weaver he stole yarn,
And the little tailor he stole broadcloth,
To keep these three rogues warm. |
|
|
|
|
|
To keep these three rogues warm,
To keep these three rogues warm,
And the little tailor he stole broadcloth, To keep these three rogues warm.

4. |
The miller got drowned in his dam,
The weaver got hung in his yarn,
And the devil clapped his claw on the little tailor,
With the broadcloth under his arm. |
|
|
|
|
|
With the broadcloth under his arm,
With the broadcloth under his arm,
And the devil clapped his claw on the little tailor,
With the broadcloth under his arm. |
