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 the lambs
The air is so fresh, you get quite a thrill
But some of the milkmaids are much fresher still!
To be a farmer′s 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′ve to get up again!
Down at the village inn the daughter′s 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 gonna find out what a dozen will do
Oh-ho it′s grand to be a farmer's boy!
To be a farmer′s boy, down on the farm
Can't come to harm down there
We′ve got fourteen pigs, that's a lot you can tell
Fourteen, that's 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′s 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-ho it′s grand to be a farmer's boy!
To be a farmer′s boy, down on the farm
Can't come to harm down there
I milk all the cows and I bob the sheep′s wool
Then play hide and seek with the 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
She'd lost her lambs, I said, "I'll help you find ′em, don′t weep!"
I know that I found everythin' excepting her sheep
Oh it′s grand to be a farmer's boy!
