2/ They pushed her into the river to drown Oh, the wind and rain Watched her as she floated down Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain Further, 'til she came to a miller's pond Oh, the wind and rain Momma and father out swims the swan Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain

3/ The miller pushed her out with a fishing pole Oh, the wind and rain Pulled that fair maid out from the brook Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain He left her on the bank to dry Crying oh the wind and rain And a fiddling fool come passing by Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
