Hey, the dusty miller,
And his dusty coat!
He will win a shilling,
Or he win a groat.
Dusty was the coat,
Dusty was the colour,
Dusty was the kiss
That I gat frae the miller!
Hey the dusty miller,
And his dusty sack!
Leeze me on the calling
Fills the dusty peck!
Fills the dusty peck,
Brings the dusty siller!
I wad gae my coatie
For the dusty miller!
