High climbs the summer sun |
|
High stands the corn |
|
And tonight when my work is done |
|
We will borrow your father's carriage |
|
We will drink and prepare for marriage |
|
Soon, my darling, soon, my darling |
|
Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in |
|
Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd |
|
Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping |
|
How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages? |
|
Deep under winter snow |
|
Deep lay the lambs |
|
And tonight by the full moon's glow |
|
Flask of wine on my feather bedding |
|
We will drink and prepare for wedding |
|
Soon, my darling, soon, my darling |
|
Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in |
|
Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd |
|
Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping |
|
How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages? |
|
People think that I'm no good |
|
At painting pictures or carving wood |
|
Be a rich man if I could |
|
But the only job I do well is here on the farm |
|
On the farm |
|
And it's breaking my back |
|
We will borrow your father's carriage |
|
We will drink and prepare for marriage |
|
Soon, my darling, soon, my darling |
|
Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in |
|
Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd |
|
Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping |
|
How can we feed |
|
Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in |
|
Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd |
|
Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping |
|
How can we feed love on a farmboy's, love on a farmboy's, love on a farmboy's wages? |
