about

Traditional--If you listen closely to the words you will hear old fashioned dance calls embedded in the song.

lyrics

Chorus
Same old man living at the mill
Mill turns around of its own free will
One hand in the hopper and the other in the sack
Ladies step forward and the gents fall back

1. Down flew the owl with her head all white
Lonesome day and lonesome night
Thought I heard some pretty girl say
Court all night and sleep all day

2. Oh said the raven as she flew
If I were a young man I'd have two
One got saucy and one could go
I'd have a new string for my bow

3. My old man's from Kalamazoo
He don't say no yes I do
First to the left and then to the right
This old mill grinds day and night
