The miller of dee
The Miller of Dee is a traditional folk song from the Chester area in the north-west of England. The song was originally part of Isaac Bickerstaffe's play, "Love in a village" (1762). Subsequently other versions of Bickerstaffe's original song were made by various other poets. The city of Chester stands on the River Dee and a weir was built across the river here in the Middle Ages to maintain high water levels for several water mills which stood on its banks. The River Dee rises high up in the Berwyn mountains of Wales and enters the Dee Estuary on the outskirsts of Chester.
