(A farmer he had) 3 sons

A farmer he had 3 sons

At least 3 sons had he

He came home tight in the middle of the night

And turned them all out of doors

Because they would not sing

The oldest of them was a millard

The next was a spinner of yarn

The little tailor boy he made head cloth

To keep those 3 scamps warm

The millard he stole the corn

The spinner he stole the yarn

The tailor voy stole the head cloth

To keep the 3 scamps warm

The millard he got drowned in his pond

The spinner got hung by his yarn

The devil ran away with the little tailor boy

With the head cloth undr his arm

Walter Edgehill at Chew Magna Jan 11 1907
