About Down by the Old Mill Stream

Words: Tell Taylor (1910)

Tune: Tell Taylor (1910)

Down by the Old Mill Stream is a waltz song by Tell Taylor, published in Chicago in 1910, and a later chart history ranks it the third most popular song in America in 1911. Its first sheet music already came with a setting of the chorus for men's voices, and by 1948 the music historian Sigmund Spaeth noted that audiences were being taught to sing it with comic gestures. Our arrangement is read from that 1910 first edition, voiced for barbershop and moved from G up to A. This is the chorus, for 2 to 4 singers: the lead sings the tune, the tenor rings above it, the baritone fills the chord and the bass holds the roots.
