Original text and translations

English.png English text <poem> On the banks of Allan Water, When the sweet spring tide did fall, Was the miller's lovely daughter, Fairest of them all.

For his bride a soldier sought her, And a winning tongue had he, On the banks of Allan Water, None so gay as she.

On the banks of Allan Water, When brown autumn spreads its store, There I saw the miller's daughter, But she smiled no more.

For the summer grief had brought her, And a soldier false was he; On the banks of Allan Water, None so sad as she.

On the banks of Allan Wa-ter, When the wintry snow fell fast, Still was seen the miller's daughter; Chilling blew the blast.

But the mill-er's lovely daughter, Both from cold and care was free; On the banks of Allan Water, There a corse lay she.
