George Formby - A Farmer's Boy Lyrics
Ive gone in for farming, I like the life, mixed up with sows and ramsSo much time I share, with the animals there, Im beginning to baa like a lamb.The air is so fresh, you get quite a thrill,But some of the milkmaids are much fresher still.To be a farmers boy, down on the farm. Cant come to harm down there.Early to bed makes you feel right as rain,Before Im asleep I just get up againDown at the village inn, the daughters so nice, my fresh eggs she does enjoyFor two eggs she lets me give her kisses a few,For four eggs I can kiss her yes and cuddle her too.Tonight Im going to find out what a dozen will doOh its grand to be a farmers boy To be a farmers boy, down on the farm. Cant come to harm down there.Weve got fourteen pigs, thats a lot you can tell,Fourteen, thats not counting the farmer as well!I get ten bob a week, and everything found, and what have I found oh boy!One day the farmer said, someone, my farm tried to robTwo prize sheep were stolen, twas a very bad job,Ive just sold two fine sheepskin rugs for twenty five bobOh its grand to be a farmers boy. To be a farmers boy, down on the farm, cant come to harm down there.I milk all the cows and I bob the sheeps wool,Then play hide and seek with a savage mad bullI met a country maid on marketing day, with her basket she looked so coy,She said she was a shepherdess they called her Bo-Peep,Shed lost her lambs, I said Ill help you find them dont weepI know that I found everything excepting her sheepOh its grand to be a farmers boy.
