SANDY LENT THE MAN HIS MILL. AKA and see "Jolly Sailor," "Rakes of Mallow (The)," "Rigs o' Marlow." Scottish, English; Air (whole time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Sandy lent the man his mill" is a song set to the tune of "Rakes of Mallow (The)." An old set of the words were collected in the latter 18th by David Herd[1] and go:
"Sandy," quo' he, "lend me your mill,"
"Sandy," quo' he, "lend me your mill,"
"Sandy," quo' he, "lend me your mill,"
"Lend me your mill," quo' Sandy.
Sandy lent the man his mill,
And the man got a loan of Sandy's mill,
And the mill that was lent was Sandy's mill,
And the mill belonged to Sandy.
A more modern set of the words goes:
Sandy he belangs tae the mill,
Sandy he belangs tae the mill;
Sandy he belangs tae the mill,
An the mill belangs tae Sandy.
Said the man tae Sandy “Lend me the mill,”
Sandy said “I’ll lend you the mill.”
Sandy lent the man his mill,
But the mill belangs tae Sandy.
Sandy lent the man his mill,
But the mill belangs tae Sandy still;
Sandy lent the man his mill,
But the mill belangs tae Sandy.
Northall[2] considers the words to be part of a ring game for children or youth, and connects them with 'Jolly Miller'.
