the farmer's toast - kate rusby lyrics
[verse 1]
come all jolly fellows who delight in being mellow
attend unto me, don’t be lazy
for a pint when it’s quiet, come all let us try it
for thinkin’ can make us all crazy
[verse 2]
come sit at my table, as many as able
i’ll hear not one word of complainin’
for the tinkling of glasses all music surpasses
i long to see bottles a*drainin’
[chorus]
i have lawns, i have bowers
i have fields, i have flowers
and the lark is my daily alarmer
so jolly boys now who follow the plough
a health and success to the farmer
[verse 3]
for here i am king, i can laugh, drink and sing
let no one approach as a stranger
just show me thе ass who refuses a glass
i’ll treat him to hay in a mangеr
[chorus]
i have lawns, i have bowers
i have fields, i have flowers
and the lark is my daily alarmer
so jolly boys now who follow the plough
a health and success to the farmer
[instrumental break]
[verse 4]
let the wealthy and great be in splendour and state
i envy them not, i declare it
for i eat my own ham, my own chickens and lamb
i shear my own sheep and i wear it
[chorus]
i have lawns, i have bowers
i have fields, i have flowers
and the lark is my daily alarmer
so jolly boys now who follow the plough
a health and success to the farmer
[verse 5]
were it not for my seeding you’d all have poor feeding
i’m sure you would all starve without me
but i am content when i’ve just paid the rent
i’m happy when friends are around me
[chorus]
i have lawns, i have bowers
i have fields, i have flowers
and the lark is my daily alarmer
so jolly boys now who follow the plough
a health and success to the farmer
oh, a health and success to the farmer
