jolly plough boys - kate rusby lyrics

Loading...

it was early one morning at the break of the day
the farmer came to us, and this he did say
come rise up my fellows with the best of good will
your horses need something their bellies to fill

when four o’colock comes, me boys, it’s up we do rise
and off to the stables we merrily flies
with a-rubbin’ and scrubbin’ our horses we’ll go
for we’re all jollly fellows that follows the plough

when six o’ clock comes, me boys, at breakfast we’ll meet
and cold beef and pork we’ll heartily eat
with a piece in our pockets, to the fields we do go
for we’re all jolly fellows that follows the plough

the farmer and this he did say
what have you been doing this long summer’s day?
you’ve not ploughed your acre, i’ll swear and i’ll vow
you are all lazy fellows that follows the plough!

then up spoke our carter and this he did cry
we have all ploughed our acre you tell us a lie
we’ve all ploughed our acre, i’ll swear and i’ll vow
we are all jolly fellows that follows the plough

then up spoke the farmer and laughed at the joke
oh it’s gone half past two boys it’s time to unyoke
unharness your horses and rub them down well
and i’ll give you a jug of my very best ale

so come all you young ploughboys
where e’re you may be
come take this advice and be ruled by me
never fear any master where e’re you may go
for we’re all jolly fellows that follows the plough

for we’re all jolly fellows that follows the plough
(repeat x 3)
