Down By the Old Mill Stream
Let's go out tonight, tonight, The moon is shining bright tonight. I see a twinkle in your eye - aye aye aye Everybody's watching us, they're watching you and I Let's go round the corner and 'ave a bit on the si... Aye aye, tiddly aye aye aye . . .
He took her gathering roses, Roses? Roses Down by the old mill stream, aye aye aye But while they were gathering roses He took off all her clotheses Down by the old mill stream.
Let's go out tonight, tonight, The moon is shining bright tonight. I see a twinkle in your eye - aye aye aye Everybody's watching us, they're watching you and I Let's go round the corner and 'ave a bit on the si... Aye aye, tiddly aye aye aye . . .
He took her gathering nuts in May, Nuts in May? Nuts in May Down by the old mill stream, aye aye aye But instead of gathering nuts in May He put her in the family way Down by the old mill stream.
Let's go out tonight, tonight The moon is shining bright tonight. I see a twinkle in your eye - aye aye aye Everybody's watching us, they're watching you and I Let's go round the corner and 'ave a bit on the si... Aye aye, tiddly aye aye aye . . .
