Another one from FolkSongs of Old Hampshire by John Paddy Browne - 'The Stones of Eling Mill' was written by Ken Stephens, and is about a restored tidal mill. Verse 1 is also the chorus.

THE STONES OF ELING MILL
(Ken Stephens)

No sails to turn and no vanes to set,
For the waters are never still;
So brin your corn, we'll gind it to flour
'Twixt the stones of Eling Mill

A ten-foot head in the mill dam's fine,
For the stones will run with a will,
And weven when it's calm and fine
We're working at Eling Mill.

Chorus:

When tower and post-mill come to a halt,
With no wind blowig over the hill,
The great big stones go merrily on
O'er the waters of Eling Mill

Chorus:

And as long as old Nature sends us the tide
We'll work away with a will,
And the gentry will come from far and wide
To trade at Eling Mill.
