Subject: Lyr Add: IN THE GOOD OLD COLONY DAYS
In good old colony days, when we lived under the king
Three jolly chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing
Because they could not sing, because they could not sing
Three jolly chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing.

Oh,the first he was a miller, and the second he was a weaver,
And the third he was a tailor, three jolly rouges together etc.

Oh the miller he stole corn, and the weaver he stole yarn,
And the little tailor ran far away with the broadcloth under his arm,etc

The miller got drowned in his dam, the weaver got hung in his yarn,
and the devil put his mark on the little tailor,
With the broadcloth under his arm,etc.

I'll work on the abc this afternoon. Never done one before so am not sure it will be right.
