Far down in the valley the wheat grows deep,

And this is the song that I hear them sing,

While cheery and loud their voices ring:

"'Tis the finest wheat that ever did grow!
这是我们种过的最优质的小麦！
And it is for Alice's supper--ho! ho!"
我们用它作为爱丽丝的晚餐！嘿嘿！”
far down by the river the old mill stands,

And the miller is rubbing his dusty hands;

And these are the words of the miller's lay,

As he watches the millstones grinding away:
磨坊主说出了这样的话：
This the finest flour that money can buy,

And it is for Alice's supper--hi! hi!"

As merry and busy she's working away:
今天她唱出了这样的歌：
"'Tis the finest dough, whether near or afar,
“这是世界上最好吃的布丁，
And it is for Alice's supper--ha! ha!"

And it is for Alice's supper--he! he!"
