Three Roguish Chaps Lyrics

I better take off my coat for this one

In good old colony times when we lived under a king

Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing

The first he was a miller, and the second now was a weaver

And the third he was a little tailor boy three roguish chaps together

The miller he stole him some corn and the weaver he stole some yarn

And the little tailor boy stole fabric enough to keep those three rogues warm

Hey now hey ho now hi cheer for the long-gone king

Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing

The miller got drowned in his dam and the weaver got hung in his yarn

And the sheriff clapped his hands on the little tailor boy with the fabric under his arms

The sheriff held on to a bolt or two the tailor boy went free

It became the talk of the town for a while til the tailor boy was lost at sea

Hey now hey, ho now hi cheer for the long-gone king

Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing

The sheriff held on to a bolt or two the tailor boy got set free

It became the talk of the county for a while til the tailor boy was lost at sea

In good old colony times when we lived under a king

Three roguish chaps fell into mishaps because they could not sing
