Come, watch - ers all and join our mer - ry song, which

keeps us hap - py not glum. We work, we play, we strug-gle ev' ry day to

clothe and feed our young. The mil - ler turns his mill stone the

21

task is ne - ver done.

25

Young Per - cy knows how to charm the girls, the

30

girls should keep out of his way. The mil - ler's boasts give us such a laugh, But

Prud - ence makes him pay. Come watch - ers all and join our mer - ry song, which

37

makes us hap - py not glum. We work, we play, we strug-gle ev' - ry day to

41
