Down by the Old Mill Stream
The 1910 waltz in true barbershop: the lead sings the tune, the tenor rings above it, the baritone fills the chord and the bass holds the roots. The chorus, slow and free, with the others answering the lead's "You were sixteen" and "my village queen".

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,by the old mill stream.
