On the LP this tune is listed as Little Dutch Girl
From the Traditional Tune Archive: It is played at a walking or march tempo, and is similar to Bonaparte's Retreat.
Happy is the miller boy that lives by the mill,
The wheel goes around of with a free goodwill.
One hand in the hopper and the other in the sack,
The ladies step forward and the gents step back.
