I have not as yet been able to recover the whole of the words of this ballad. The following fragment was written by Mr. Chappell, from the singing of Mr. Charles Sloman, and is all I have respecting it:— Music [Listen] Lyrics: The miller he caught the maid by the toe What d'ye call this, my dearest? The miller he caught the maid by the toe; What d'ye call this, my dearest? Oh! this is my toe, near to my shoe sole. Thy toe on my territory. I'm the maid of the mill, and the corn grinds well. |
