D. "The Miller Boy." Collected by Kenneth Peacock in 1960 from James (Jim) M Keeping [1891-?] of Burnt Islands, NL.
My father 'prenticed me a miller boy,
Good learning gave to me,
Till I fell a-courting of a fair pretty girl
At the age of twenty-three.
I courted her for several months,
A little now and then,
Till I felt ashamed for to marry her
For I being so young a man.
I said, "My dear, let's take a walk
Down by some meadow gay,
It's there we'll sit together
And plan our wedding day."
