XTC "LOVE ON A FARMBOY'S WAGES" |
High climbs the summer sunHigh stands the cornAnd tonight, when my work is doneWe will borrow your father's carriageWe will drink and prepare for marriageSoon, my darling, soon, my darlingShilling for the fellow who brings the sheep inShilling for the fellow who milks the herdShilling for the fellow with a wife for keepingHow can we feed love on a farmboy's wages? Deep under winter snowDeep lay the lambsAnd tonight, by the full moon's glowFlask of wine on my feather beddingWe will drink and prepare for weddingSoon, my darling, soon, my darlingShilling for the fellow who brings the sheep inShilling for the fellow who milks the herdShilling for the fellow with a wife for keepingHow can we feed love on a farmboy's wages? People think that I'm no goodPainting pictures carving woodBe a rich man if I couldBut the only job I do well, is here, on the farmOn the farm and it's breaking my backWe will borrow your father's carriageWe will drink and prepare for marriageSoon, my darling, soon, my darlingShilling for the fellow who brings the sheep inShilling for the fellow who milks the herdShilling for the fellow with a wife for keepingHow can we feed?Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep inShilling for the fellow who milks the herdShilling for the fellow with a wife for keepingHow can we feed love on a farmboy'sHow can we feed love on a farmboy'sHow can we feed love on a farmboy's wages?
