¶Lyrics / Text

On the banks of Allan Water, When the sweet spring tide did fall, Was the miller's lovely daughter, Fairest of them all. For his bride a soldier sought her, And a winning tongue had he, On the banks of Allan Water, None so gay as she. On the banks of Allan Water, When brown autumn spreads its store, There I saw the miller's daughter, But she smiled no more. For the summer grief had brought her, And a soldier false was he; On the banks of Allan Water, None so sad as she. On the banks of Allan Water, When the wintry snow fell fast, Still was seen the miller's daughter; Chilling blew the blast. But the miller's lovely daughter, Both from cold and care was free; On the banks of Allan Water, There a corse lay she.
