Verse 1
When Arthur ruled this land
He was a mighty king;
Three sons he swore he'd turn out of door
Because they could not sing.
Verse 2
The first he was a miller
The second he was a weaver;
The third he was a little tailor -
Three thievish rogues together.
Verse 3
The miller he stole corn
The weaver he stole yarn;
The little tailor stole a piece of broad cloth
To keep these three rogues warm.
Verse 4
The miller was drowned in his pond,
The weaver was hanged with his yarn,
The devil ran away with the little tailor,
With the broad cloth under his arm.
