I learned a slightly different first verse:

In good old colony times,
When we lived under the king,
There was a miller and a weaver and a little tailor,
Three merry rogues of Lynn,
Three merry rogues of Lynn.
There was a miller and a weaver and a little tailor,
Three merry rogues of Lynn.

The remaining verses matched earlier postings closely, with the lines about the drowning and hanging played slowly and mournfully (invent chords to suit), and then back to uptempo for the devil got his paws, etc.
