The Dusty Miller

The Dusty Miller.

[A fragment of an old song given in Johnson's Museum, Part II. 1788. The air is old, and was formerly played as a dancing-tune.]

Hey, the dusty miller, And his dusty coat! He will win a shilling, Ere he spend 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 gi'e my coatie For the dusty miller.
