Jolly Plough Boys @20 Lyrics by Kate Rusby

20

2012

[Verse 1: Kate Rusby]
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
[Verse 2: Kate Rusby]
When four o'clock comes, me boys, it's up we do rise
And off to the stables we merrily flies
With a-rubbin' and a-scrubbin' our horses we'll go
For we're all jolly fellows that follows the plough
[Verse 3: Kate Rusby, Kate Rusby & Dick Gaughan]
When six o'clock comes, me boys, at breakfast we'll meet
And with cold beef and pork we'll heartily еat
With a piece in our pockets to thе fields we do go
For we're all jolly fellows that follows the plough
[Verse 4: Kate Rusby & Dick Gaughan]
Then up spoke 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
[Verse 5: Kate Rusby, Kate Rusby & Dick Gaughan]
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
[Verse 6: Kate Rusby & Dick Gaughan]
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 me very best ale
[Verse 7: Kate Rusby, Kate Rusby & Dick Gaughan]
So come all you young ploughboys where e'er you may be
Come take this advice and be ruled by me
Never fear any master where e'er you may go
For we're all jolly fellows that follows the plough
[Outro: Kate Rusby, Kate Rusby & Dick Gaughan]
We are all jolly fellows that follows the plough
We are all jolly fellows that follows the plough
