- (continued from previous page)At the break of day I'll trudge away,
Elsewhere to get employed,
To plough and sow, to reap and mow,
And be a farmer's boy..4.
The farmer's wife cried, "try the lad"
Let him no further seek,
Yes father do, the daughter cried,
As tears ran down her cheek,
For those who'd work it's hard to want
And wander for employment
Don't let him go, but let him stay,
And be a farmer's boy..5:
The farmer's boy grew up a man,
The good old couple died,
They left the lad, the farm they had,
And their daughter for his bride,
The lad that was, and the farmer is,
Often thinks and smiles with joy,
Of the lucky, lucky day he came,
That way to be a farmer's boy- Collector
