George Formby A Farmers Boy Lyrics

A Farmers Boy Lyrics

Ive gone in for farming, I like the life, mixed up with sows and rams

So
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 again



Down at the village inn,
the daughters 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 Im going to find out what a dozen will do

Oh 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 rob

Two prize sheep were
stolen, twas a very bad job,

Ive just sold two fine sheepskin rugs for
twenty five bob

Oh 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 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,

Shed
lost her lambs, I said Ill help you find them dont weep

I know that I
found everything excepting her sheep

Oh its grand to be a farmers boy.
