歌曲歌詞
The sun has gone down
And the sky it looks red
Down on my soft pillow where
I lay my head
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 flaw them
All on the cold ground
When sawing is over then
Seedtime comes round
See our teams they
Are already preparing the ground
Then the man
With his seed-lip he’ll scatter the corn
Then the harrows
They will bury it to keep it from harm
Now seedtime being over
Then haying draws near
With our scythes rakes
And pitch-forks those meadows to clear
We will cut down their grass boys
And carry it away
We will first call
It 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 boys
We will cut down their corn
And we’ll take it to the barn boys
To keep it from harm
Now harvest being over bad weather comes on
We will send for the thresher
To thresh out our corn
His hand-staff he’ll handle
His swingel he’ll swing
Till the very next harvest we’ll all meet again
Now since we have brought this
So cheerfully around
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 ploughmen
That plough up the ground
Now things they do change as the time passes on
And 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
