Hey, the Dusty Miller


Hey, the dusty Miller,And his dusty coat,He will win a shilling,Or he spend a groat:Dusty was the coat,Dusty was the colour,Dusty was the kissThat I gat frae the Miller.
Hey, the dusty Miller,And his dusty sack;Leeze me on the callingFills the dusty peck:Fills the dusty peck,Brings the dusty siller;I wad gie my coatieFor the dusty Miller.
