Long Life And Success To The Farmer Lyrics
Let the wealthy and the great
Roll in splendor and state
I envy them not, I declare it
I envy them not, I declare it
I raise my own lamb
My own chickens and ham
Shear my own fleece and I wear it
I have lawns, I have bowers
I have fruits, I have flowers
[Chorus]
The lark is my early alarmer
So Jolly boys now
Here's God speed the plough
Long life and success to the farmer
I was brought up in the city
But it wasn't very pretty
So I went out to find a way to forget it
I went out to find a way to forget it
I heard the grass was greener
I'm going to life much cleaner
I can have the whole room in the country
I'd be early to bed, early to rise
Make me healthy, strong, and wise
[Chorus]
The lark is my early alarmer
So Jolly boys now
Here's God speed the plough
Long life and success to the farmer
