作词 : Alicia Broeksmit Best/Robert Edward Jackson 作曲 : Robert Edward Jackson Was the farmer still sleeping with his wife by his side, when you left in the morning did you kiss him goodbye And go out in the fields with tears in your eyes Did you open every door for him and close it with a bow, did you wipe away the rain and the sweat from his brow When you were out in the fields and you couldn’t pull the plough and you tore your dress And he said "Who would want to dance with the farmers mistress?" But she danced like a straw blowin’ in the harvest breeze, bare feet on the floor and a grass stain on her knee Yeah she danced like she was free With a fierce and defiant wind that billowed in her sails and the farmers life was nestled in the dirt beneath her nails And the scars on her hands told many a tale and it started with a kiss And he said "Who would want a kiss from the farmers mistress?" Did you promise you would lie when you ran into his wife, when you locked him in the barn was he begging for his life? Did you give him the key or the edge of your knife? And beneath the English summer time stars as they collide I see the fury in her flame I see the temper in her eyes And you just couldn’t miss that thorn in her side He said "Who would want to dance?" He said "Who would want a kiss?" And she said "Who would ever guess it was the farmers mistress?"
