I have somewhat different words, taken from the
Richard Dyer-Bennett recording:

In the good old colony days,
When we lived under the king,
Lived a miller and a weaver and a little tailor,
Three jolly rogues of Lynn.

Chorus pattern:
Last line of verse twice
Repeat last two lines of verse

Now the miller, he stole flour,
And the weaver, he stole yarn,
And the little tailor, he stole broadcloth,
For to keep those three rogues warm.

Chorus

Now the miller was drowned in his dam,
And the weaver was hanged in his yarn,
And the devile got his paw on the little tailor,
With his broadcloth under his arm!

Chorus
