   D            A7     D
1. In good old colony times
   D              A7        D
   When we lived under the king,
   D              A7        D      A7
   Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps 
   G             A7        D
   Because they could not sing
   D             A7        D
   Because they could not sing
   D            A7         D
   Because the could not sing
   D              A7         D     A7
   Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps
   G            A7         D
   Because they could not sing.

2. Well the first he was a miller
   And the second he was a weaver
   And the third he was a little tailor
   Three roguish chaps together
   Three roguish chaps together
   Three roguish chaps together
   And the third he was a little tailor
   Three roguish chaps together

3. Well the miller he stole corn,
   And the weaver he stole yarn
   And the little tailor ran right away
   With the broad cloth under his arm
   With the broad cloth under his arm
   With the broad cloth under his arm
   And the little tailor ran right away
   With the broad cloth under his arm

4. Well the miller got drowned in his dam
   And the weaver got hung in his yarn
   And the devil clapped his claws on the little tailor
   With the broad cloth under his arm
   With the broad cloth under his arm
   With the broad cloth under his arm
   And the devil clapped his claws on the little tailor
   With the broad cloth under his arm

5. Repeat the first verse.
