ADAM AND EVE

Adam and Eve could never believe that Peter the miller was dead
Shut up in a tower for stealing a flower
And never could get a relief
And never could get a relief

They bored a hole in Oliver's nose and pulled therein a string
And drew him around about the town
For murdering Charles our King
For murdering Charles our King

Adam and Eve could never believe that Peter the miller was dead
Shut up in a tower for stealing a flower
And never could get a relief
And never could get a relief

----------------------------------------------------------------
recorded by Tim Hart & Maddy Prior on "Folk Songs of Olde England Vol.1" (1968)
Oliver in the second verse is Oliver Cromwell, leader of the Parliamentary
Forces in the English Civil War who executed King Charles I in 1642.
