《The Brisk Young Ploughboy(Bob & Jim)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Brisk Young Ploughboy - The Copper Family

[00:00:01] It was of a brisk young ploughboy

[00:00:03] Come listen to this refrain

[00:00:06] And join with me in chorus

[00:00:09] And sing the ploughboy's praise

[00:00:13] My song is of the ploughboy's praise

[00:00:16] And unto you I'll relate the same

[00:00:20] He whistles and sings and drives his plough

[00:00:24] The brave ploughboy

[00:00:28] So early in the morning the ploughboy he is seen

[00:00:34] All hastening to the stable his horses for to clean

[00:00:41] Their manes and tails he does comb straight

[00:00:45] With chaff and corn he will them bate

[00:00:48] And he'll endeavour to plough straight

[00:00:52] The brave ploughboy

[00:00:57] When he goes out in the morning

[00:01:00] To harrow plough or sow

[00:01:03] And with a gentle cast my boys

[00:01:06] He'll give his corn a throw

[00:01:10] All this I'll have you understand

[00:01:13] Is just to fill the reaper's hand

[00:01:17] Likewise I'll have you understand

[00:01:21] It comes from the ploughboy

[00:01:26] Now seedtime being over

[00:01:29] The fields look fresh and gay

[00:01:32] There's merry lads to mow

[00:01:34] The grass while damsels make the hay

[00:01:39] The small birds sing on every tree

[00:01:42] The cuckoo joins sweet harmony

[00:01:46] All welcome here as you may see

[00:01:50] The brave ploughboy

[00:01:55] Then haying being over

[00:01:58] And harvest does draw near

[00:02:01] Our Master he does welcome us

[00:02:04] With plenty of beef and beer

[00:02:09] We all sit round to drink our beer

[00:02:12] While Peace and Plenty fill the year

[00:02:16] And we'll be happy while we are here

[00:02:20] And drink to the ploughboy

[00:02:26] Now harvest being over

[00:02:29] We start the plough once more

[00:02:32] Our Master has invited us

[00:02:35] Unlocks his cellar door

[00:02:39] With cake and ale we have our fill

[00:02:42] Because we've done our work so well

[00:02:46] And there's no one can despise the skill

[00:02:50] Of the brave ploughboy
