w: "I care for no-bod-y, no not I, If no-bod-y cares for me.*_ % W:1. W:There was a jolly miller once W:Lived on the river Dee ; W:He work'd and sang from morn till night, W:No lark more blithe than he. W:And this the burden of his aong W:Forever used to be W:I care for nobody, no, not I, W:If nobody cares for me. W:. W:2. W:The reason why he was so blithe, W:He once did thus unfold W:The bread I eat my hands have earn'd; W:I covet no man's gold ; W:I do not fear next quarter-day; W:In debt to none I be. W:I care for nobody, no, not I, W:If nobody cares for me. W:. W:3. W:A coin or two I've in my purse, W:To help a needy friend ; W:A little I can give the poor, W:And still have some to spend. W:Though I may fail, yet I rejoice, W:Another's good hap to see. W:I care for nobody, no, not I, W:If nobody cares for me. W:. W:4. W:So let us his example take, W:And be from malice free; W:Let every one his neighbour serve, W:As served he'd like to be. W:And merrily push the can about W:And drink and sing with glee; W:If nobody cares a doit for us, W:Why not a do it care we % % % % % % % % % %]
