WHEN BOLD KING EDWARD

When bold King Edward ruled the land
He ruled it like a king.
And he turned his three sons out of doors
Because they could not sing.
Because they could not sing.
Because they could not sing.
And he turned his three sons out of doors
Because they could not sing.

The first he was a miller
The second he was a weaver
The third he was a little tailor boy
Three thievish rogues together.
Three thievish etc.

The miller he staw meal
And the weaver he staw yarn
And the little tailor he stole broadcloth
To keep those three rogues warm.

The miller was drowned in his dam
The weaver was hung wi' his yarn
And the deil ran awa' wi' the little tailor boy
Wi' his broadcloth under his arm.
