"The Miller's Three Sons" [Roud 138; Laws Q21; G/D 3:703; Ballad Index LQ21; Bodleian Roud 138; Wiltshire 889; trad.] is an English folk song. It was published as a broadside in the middle of the 18th century.
A miller has three "lusty" sons. On his deathbed he questions them to decide which should inherit his mill. He asks each how much flour they will take from the grain brought to the mill by farmers to be ground. - Licensing
