A Farmers Boy

I've gone in for farming

I like the life, mixed up with sows and rams

So much time I share, with the animals there

I'm beginning to baa like a lamb

The air is so fresh, you get quite a thrill

But some of the milkmaids are much fresher still

To be a farmers boy, down on the farm

Can't come to harm down there

Early to bed makes you feel right as rain

Before I'm asleep I just get up again

Down at the village inn, the daughters so nice, my fresh eggs she does enjoy

For two eggs she lets me give her kisses a few

For four eggs I can kiss her yes and cuddle her too

Tonight I'm going to find out what a dozen will do

Oh it's grand to be a farmers boy

To be a farmers boy, down on the farm

Can't come to harm down there

Weve got fourteen pigs, thats a lot you can tell

Fourteen, thats not counting the farmer as well

I get ten bob a week, and everything found, and what have I found oh boy

One day the farmer said, someone, my farm tried to rob

Two prize sheep were stolen, twas a very bad job

I've just sold two fine sheepskin rugs for twenty five bob

Oh it's grand to be a farmers boy

To be a farmers boy, down on the farm

Can't come to harm down there

I milk all the cows and I bob the sheeps wool

Then play hide and seek with a savage mad bull

I met a country maid on marketing day, with her basket she looked so coy

She said she was a shepherdess they called her Bo-Peep

Shed lost her lambs, I said I'll help you find them dont weep

I know that I found everything excepting her sheep

Oh it's grand to be a farmers boy
