marla Lyr Req: Old Man Living at the Mill (10) RE: Old Man Living at the Mil 11 Feb 97


...if I remember this right... I think I got it from an Album call.."7 bridges row" ...perhaps Ian Mathews (?)

cho:
Same old man, workin' at the mill.
Mill turns around of it's own free will.
Hand in the hopper and the other in a sack.
Ladys walk farward and the men fall back.

verse1:
"My", said the raven, as she flew,
"If I was a young one 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

"My," said the owl with her head all white,
"Lonesome day and a lonesome night,
Thought I heard a pretty girl say,
Work all night and sleep next day."

My old mans form 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.

At any rate, I hope that's got it...or at least close enough for 'folk music'

Strive for 'whirled peas' marla
