When I open my eyes for to see the stars shine, Then the thoughts of my true love run into my mind. The sap has gone down and the leaves they do fall. To hedging and ditching! our farmers they'll call. We will trim up their hedges, we will cut down their wood; And the farmers they'll all say, Our faggots run good. Now hedging being over, then sawing draws near. We will send for the sawyer, the woods for to clear. And after he has sawed them and tumbled them down, Then there he will floor them all on the cold ground. When sawing is over, then seed-time comes round. See our teams, they are all ready preparing the ground. Then the man with his seed-lip he'll scatter the corn, Then the harrows they will bury, to keep it from harm. Now seed-time being over, then haying draws near. With our scythe, rake, and pitch-fork, those meadows to clear, We will cut down their grass, boys, and carry it away; We will turn it to the green grass and then call it hay. When haying is over, then harvest draws near. We will send to our brewer to brew us strong beer. And in brewing strong beer, we will cut down their corn; We will take it to the barn, boys, to keep it from harm. Now harvest being over, bad weather comes on; We will send for the thrasher to thrash out the corn. His hand-staff he' Il handle, his swinger he' Il swing; Till the very next harvest we 'Il all meet again. Now since we have brought this so cheerfully round, We will send for the jolly ploughman to plough up the ground. See the boy with his whip and the man to his plough; Here's a health to the jolly ploughman that ploughs up the ground. Now things they do change as the time passes on; I'm afraid I'll have occasion to alter my song. You'll see a boy with a tractor a-going like hell; Whatever farming is coming to, there's no tongue can tell. recorded by The Copper family NOTE: This song used to be followed by a Toast to the Plough: Success to the bright plough-share, and may it never rust. Verse nine is, of course, a recent addition by the Copper family. Other versions have bean collected in Southern England and published under the title of The Seasons of the Year. @seasonal @farm filename[ SEASRND JY ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Shadows and Lights, Shall We Gather At The River, Shallow Brown, Shannon And Chesapeake, Shanty Boy And The Farmers Son, Shape Of My Love, Share Me With Texas, She Did It To Me, She Moved Through The Fair, Shearing In The Bar, Shearins Nae For You My Bonnie Lassie O, Sheath And Knife, Shell Still Cry Tonight, Sheffield Apprentice, Shepherd Of The Downs, Shepherds Wife, Shes Like A Swallow, Shes More To Be Pitied Than Censured, Shes Not You, Shine Your Buttons With Brasso, Shingling The Rum Sellers Roof, Ship That Never Returned, Ships Carpenter, Shoals Of Herring, Short Jacket Cabin Boy, Shorty George, Shule Aroon, Si Me Quieres Escribir, Sickness And Diseases, Sidewalks Of New York, Silent Night, Silk Merchants Daughter, Silkie, Silver Bells, Silver Dagger, Silver Dollar, Silver In The Stubble, Silver Threads Among The Gold, Simple Gifts, Simss Flotilla, Since First I Saw Your Face, Singapore Anthem Text, Singapore Native Anthem Text, Singers Request, Single Girl, Singular Dream, Sinner Man, Sioux Indians, Sir Hugh Or The Jews Daughter, Sir James The Rose, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
