We loved Eliza Carthy's version so much we wanted to do it ourselves!

lyrics

Miller and the Lass

There was a buxom and a brisk young lass,
Went down to the mill one day-o
To get some corn oh for to grind
But the devil out there to the miller could she find

Chorus (repeated after each verse):
With a/me fal the diddle I do fal the diddle ay,
Fal the diddle I do fal the diddle ay.

Singing dum dub a dum dum day

At last the miller he came in;
The pretty fair maid she did begin:
"A peck of corn I have to grind
But never a miller can I find."

Singing dum dub a dum dum day

"Come, sit you down, my sweet pretty dear
I cannot grind your corn I fear;
My stones is high and the water's low,
And I can't grind for the mill won't go."

Singing dum dub a dum dum day

So she sat down on a sack,
And he talked of this, and he talked of that,
He talked of love, of her love proved kind
And she soon found that the mill would grind.
