JOLLY MILLER, by                    
First Line: There was a jolly miller once
Last Line: If nobody cares for me


THERE was a jolly miller once,
Lived on the river Dee;
He worked and sang from morn till night,
No lark more blithe than he.
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be,
I care for nobody, no! not I,
If nobody cares for me.
