| Old Colony Times, also known as Good Old Colony Days, When We Were Under the King and Jolly Rogues of Linn, originated in the early 1800s. It was popular throughout the nineteenth century. |
In good old colony times When we were under the king Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps Because they could not sing Chorus Because they could not sing Because they could not sing Three roguish chaps Fell into mishaps Because they could not sing. The first he was a miller, And the second he was a weaver, And the third he was a tailor, Three roguish chaps together. Chorus Now the miller he stole corn The weaver he stole yarn And the little tailor stole broadcloth for To keep these rogues warm Chorus The miller got drown'd in his dam The weaver got hung in his yarn And the devlid clapp'd his claw on the little tailor With the broadcloth under his arm. Chorus |
