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. |

| 3. | Now the miller he stole corn, And the weaver he stole yarn, And the little tailor he stole broadcloth, To keep these three rogues warm. |

| 4. | The miller got drowned in his dam, The weaver got hung in his yarn, And the devil clapped his claw on the little tailor, With the broadcloth under his arm. |
