1.
Hey the dusty miller
And his dusty coat!
He will spend a shilling
Or he win a groat.
Dusty was the coat,
Dusty was the colour,
Dusty was the kiss
That I gat frae the miller!
(Note:- A shilling was worth twelve
pence, a groat was worth four pence.)

And his dusty sack!
Leeze me on the calling
Fills the dusty peck!
Fills the dusty peck,
Brings the dusty siller!
I wad gie my coatie
For the dusty miller!

Dear is to me on the calling
Fills the dusty peck!
Fills the dusty peck,
Brings the dusty money!
I would give my coat
For the dusty miller!
