In good King Arthur's days,
He was a merry king,
He turned three servants out of doors,
Because they wouldn't sing.
Because they wouldn't sing,
He turned three servants out of doors,
Because they wouldn't sing.

The first he was a miller,
The second he was a weaver,
The third he was a tailor boy,
Three thieving rogues together
Three thieving rogues, etc.

The miller he stole corn,
The weaver he stole yarn,
The tailer boy he stole broadcloth,
To keep these three rogues warm.
To keep, etc.

The miller was drowned in his dam,
The weaver was hanged in his yarn,
The devil ran off with the tailor boy
With the broadcloth under his arm.
With the, etc.
