I’M A JOLLY FARMER Sung by: ? Treat Recorded at the Leslie Homecoming, 6/13/63 Click here to listen to the original recording Weary at the stool. That old red cow just stood and looked At me like I was a fool. I sat down on my little stool, And not a word was said ‘Til I had placed the pail beneath The old cow’s . . . head. Chorus: Oh, I’m a jolly farmer; I work from sun to sun. I sometimes go a-fishing And a-hunting to my gun (?), And when I get married, She must know how To feed the hens, slop the pigs, And milk the old red cow. Someday when I get married, I ain't doing a thing, But sit around the house and wait For the dairy bell to ring. It'll be nice to have a wife Around to do the chores. That old red cow will never kick me Out of the lot no more. (Chorus) |
