W:In old ancient days there was no cursed money,
W:The children of Israel eat milk and good honey,
W:No queen could be seen from the highest degree
W:They milk their brown cows and their sheep they often see.
W:Them lambs give them clothing the cows they give them milk
W:And that's how the farmer played all those good deeds.
W:Them lambs give them clothing the cows they give them milk
W:And that's how the farmer played all those good deeds
W:Played well all those good deeds.

W:But as for old Adam how he work with the spade
W:And how he planted vineyards and neatly he made.
W:But as for the farmer with his love exposed
W:With beef and good bacon they could keep a good house
W:With a firkin in each corner from his own barley mow
W:He'd welcome in a friend and may God speed the plough
W:With a firkin in each corner from his own barley mow
W:He'd welcome in a friend and may God speed the plough
W:And may God speed the plough.
