MILLER BOY. Old-Time, Air (whole time). D Major. DDad tuning (fiddle). A play-party game and song that goes:

Happy is the miller boy that lives by the mill,
The wheel goes around of with a free goodwill.
One hand in the hopper and the other in the sack,
The ladies step forward and the gents step back.
