The Banks of Allan Water (0022 of 1000)

The Banks of Allan Water
1. By the banks of Allan Water
When the sweet springtime 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
3. On the banks of Allan Water
When the winter 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
2. On the banks of Allan Water
When brown autumn spread 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
