The Miller of Dee

The version of "The Miller of Dee" that I sing can be found in Folk Songs of the British Isles. This is a folk song of some antiquity, 17th century, about a jolly miller extolling the virtues of his trade. The third verse has the air of a drinking song about it with the toast of "Long live the king" is called.
