Love On A Farmboy's Wages Lyrics - Mummer - Xtc

High climbs the summer sun 

High stands the corn 

And tonight when my work is done 

We will borrow your father's carriage 

We will drink and prepare for marriage 

Soon my darling, soon my darling 

Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in 

Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd 

Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping 

How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages? 

Deep under winter snow 

Deep lay the lambs 

And tonight by the full moon's glow 

Flask of wine on my feather bedding 

We will drink and prepare for wedding 

Soon my darling, soon my darling 

Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in 

Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd 

Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping 

How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages? 

People think that I'm no good 

Painting pictures, carving wood 

Be a rich man if I could 

But the only job I do well is here on the farm 

On the farm 

And it's breaking my back 

We will borrow your father's carriage 

We will drink and prepare for marriage 

Soon my darling, soon my darling 

Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in 

Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd 

Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping 

How can we feed 

Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in 

Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd 

Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping 

How can we feed love on a farmboy's 

Love on a farmboy's 

Love on a farmboy's wages
