An Acre Of Land

My father he left an acre of land
Sing ivy, sing ivy
My father he left an acre of land
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
I plowed it with a rams horn
Sing ivy, sing ivy
And sowed it all over with one peppercorn
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing ivy
I harrowed it next with a team of rats
Sing ivy, sing ivy
And reaped it all with my little tooth comb
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
I sent it home in a walnut shell
And thrashed it with a goose's quill
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing ivy
