| 1 | 1 | There w | There dwelt a miller, hale and bold, beside the river Dee; |
| 2 | 2 | He danced and sang from morn till night, no lark so blithe as he; | |
| 3 | 3 | And this the burden of his song forever used to be: - | |
| 4 | 4 | "I care for nobody, no not I, if nobody cares for me. | |
| 5 | 5 | ||
| 6 | 6 | "I live by my mill, God bless her! she's kindred, child, and wife; | |
| 7 | 7 | I ca | I would not change my station for any other in life; |
| 8 | 8 | No lawyer, surgeon, or doctor e'er had a groat from me; | |
| 9 | 9 | I care for nobody, no not I if nobody cares for me." | |
| 10 | 10 | ||
| 11 | 11 | When spring begins his merry career, oh, how his heart grows gay; | |
| 12 | 12 | No summer's drought alarms his fear, nor winter's cold decay; | |
| 13 | 13 | No foresight mars the miller's joy, who's wont to sing and say, | |
| 14 | 14 | "Let others toil from year to year, I live from day to day." | |
| 15 | 15 | ||
| 16 | 16 | Thus, like the miller, bold and free, let us rejoice and sing; | |
| 17 | 17 | The days of youth are made for glee, and time is on the wing; | |
| 18 | 18 | This song shall pass from me to thee, along the jovial ring; | |
| 19 | 19 | Let heart and voice and all agree to say, "Long live the king." | |
| 20 | To help a needy friend; | ||
| 21 | A little I can give the poor, | ||
| 22 | And still have some to spend. | ||
| 23 | Though I may fail, yet I rejoice, | ||
| 24 | Another's good hap to see. | ||
| 25 | I care for nobody, no, not I, | ||
| 26 | If nobody cares for me. | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | So let us his example take, | ||
| 29 | And be from malice free; | ||
| 30 | Let every one his neighbour serve, | ||
| 31 | As served he'd like to be. | ||
| 32 | And merrily push the can about | ||
| 33 | And drink and sing with glee; | ||
| 34 | If nobody cares a doit for us, | ||
| 35 | Why not a doit care we. |
