Thread Name: Origins: Old Man Livin' at the Mill (Dillards etc)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Old Man Livin' at the Mill
From an old Folkways recording:
Same old man livin at the mill
The wheel turns round and its all free will
First to the left and then to the right
This old mill rides day and night
Dance in and out, his head all white
The lonesome day and the lonely night
Thought I heard some pretty girl say
Gonna dance all night and I'll sleep next day
(Chorus)
My old man's from Kalamazoo
He don't mind - oh yes I do!
(I forget the rest...but it's the last verse here)
