The Farmer’s Toast

Traditional

[Verse 1]
Come all jolly fellows who delight in being mellow
Attend unto me, don't be lazy
For a pint when it's quiet, come all let us try it
For thinkin' can make us all crazy

[Verse 2]
Come sit at my table, as many as able
I'll hear not one word of complainin'
For the tinkling of glasses all music surpasses
I long to see bottles a-drainin'

[Chorus]
I have lawns, I have bowers
I have fields, I have flowers
And the lark is my daily alarmer
So jolly boys now who follow the plough
A health and success to the farmer

[Verse 3]
For here I am king, I can laugh, drink and sing
Let no one approach as a stranger
Just show me thе ass who refuses a glass
I'll treat him to hay in a mangеr

[Chorus]
I have lawns, I have bowers
I have fields, I have flowers
And the lark is my daily alarmer
So jolly boys now who follow the plough
A health and success to the farmer

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Let the wealthy and great be in splendour and state
I envy them not, I declare it
For I eat my own ham, my own chickens and lamb
I shear my own sheep and I wear it

[Chorus]
I have lawns, I have bowers
I have fields, I have flowers
And the lark is my daily alarmer
So jolly boys now who follow the plough
A health and success to the farmer

[Verse 5]
Were it not for my seeding you'd all have poor feeding
I'm sure you would all starve without me
But I am content when I've just paid the rent
I'm happy when friends are around me

[Chorus]
I have lawns, I have bowers
I have fields, I have flowers
And the lark is my daily alarmer
So jolly boys now who follow the plough
A health and success to the farmer
Oh, a health and success to the farmer
