THE MILLER'S SONG
Nelson Kneass
1881

Don't you remember Velia dear
The mill by the old hill side
Where we used to go in summer time
and watch the flowing tide?
And the miller there with his slouchy hat
and his eyes of mildest grey
Plodding along with his daily work
singing the live long day
Ul le ra ul le ra
singing the miller's song
Ul le ra ul le ra
singing the millers song

Velia They've torn the mill away
and a factry dark and drear
Looms its smoke o'er the clear blue sky _
and dims the atmosphere
The _ only time for _ pleasure now
Is the Sabbeth all day long
But what brings back the olden time
is the old miller's song
Ul le ra Ul le ra
is the old miller's song
Ul le ra Ul le ra
is the old miller's song

Velia the miller's dead and gone
In the old churchyard he's laid
And the poor old dog that used to growl
As round the mill we played
Well, He followed in the funeral train
As The village round did throng
The dog died on his _ master's grave
as_they sang the miller's song
Ul le ra ul le ra
as_they sang the miller's song
Ul le ra Ul le ra
as_they sang the miller's song
