There was a jolly miller
This old nursery rhyme is called “There was a jolly miller” — enjoy your reading!
“There was a jolly miller
Lived on the river Dee,
He look'd upon his pillow,
And there he saw a flee.
Oh! Mr. Flea,
You have been biting me,
And you must die:
So he crack'd his bones
Upon the stones,
And there he let him lie.”
