Down by the Old Mill Stream

Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

Down by the Old Mill Stream, 
Where I first met you,
With your eyes of blue, 
Dressed in gingham too,
It was there I knew,  
That you loved me true.
You were sixteen, my village queen, 
Down by the old mill stream!
