A Farmer's Boy - George Formby

I've gone in for farming

I like the life

Mixed up with sows and rams

So much time I share

With the animals there

I'm 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 farmer's boy down on the farm

Can't come to harm down there

Early to bed makes you feel right as rain

Before I'm asleep I just get up again

Down at the village inn

The daughter is so nice

My fresh eggs she does enjoy

For two eggs she lets me give her kisses a few

For four eggs I can kiss her yes and cuddle her too

Tonight I'm going to find out what a dozen will do

Oh it's grand to be a farmer's boy

To be a farmer's boy down on the farm

Can't come to harm down there

We've got fourteen pigs

That's a lot you can tell

Fourteen that's 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 rob

Two prize sheep were stolen

It was a very bad job

I've just sold two fine sheepskin rugs for twenty five bob

Oh it's grand to be a farmer's boy

MUSCI

To be a farmer's boy down on the farm

Can't 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 bull

I 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

She'd lost her lambs

I said I'll help you find them don't weep

I know that I found everything excepting her sheep

Oh it's grand to be a farmer's boy
