11There dwelt a miller, hale and bold, beside the river Dee; There was a jolly miller once
22He danced and sang from morn till night, no lark so blithe as he; Lived on the River Dee;
33And this the burden of his song forever used to be: - He work'd and sang from morn till night,
44"I care for nobody, no not I, if nobody cares for me. No lark more blithe than he.
55 And this the burden of his song
66"I live by my mill, God bless her! she's kindred, child, and wife; Forever used to be;
77I would not change my station for any other in life; I care for nobody, no, not I,
88No lawyer, surgeon, or doctor e'er had a groat from me; If nobody cares for me.
99I care for nobody, no not I if nobody cares for me."
1010 The reason why he was so blithe,
1111When spring begins his merry career, oh, how his heart grows gay; He once did thus unfold;
1212No summer's drought alarms his fear, nor winter's cold decay; The bread I eat my hands have earn'd;
1313No foresight mars the miller's joy, who's wont to sing and say, I covet no man's gold;
1414"Let others toil from year to year, I live from day to day." I do not fear next quarter-day;
1515 In debt to none I be.
1616Thus, like the miller, bold and free, let us rejoice and sing; I care for nobody, no, not I,
1717The days of youth are made for glee, and time is on the wing; If nobody cares for me.
1818This song shall pass from me to thee, along the jovial ring;
1919Let heart and voice and all agree to say, "Long live the king."A coin or two I've in my purse,
20To help a needy friend;
21A little I can give the poor,
22And still have some to spend.
23Though I may fail, yet I rejoice,
24Another's good hap to see.
25I care for nobody, no, not I,
26If nobody cares for me.
27
28So let us his example take,
29And be from malice free;
30Let every one his neighbour serve,
31As served he'd like to be.
32And merrily push the can about
33And drink and sing with glee;
34If nobody cares a doit for us,
35Why not a doit care we.
