"AN ACRE OF LAND

My father left me an acre of land,
Ivy, sing Ivery,
My father left me an acre of land,
And a bunch of green holly and Ivery.

I ploughed it with a ram's horn;
Ivy, sing Ivery,
I sowed it with a thimble,
And a bunch of green holly and Ivery.

I harrowed it with a bramble bush;
Ivy, sing Ivery,
I reaped it with a penknife,
And a bunch of green holly and Ivery."


etc....

It really depends on the OTHER acres of land around it. Putting in a shooting range wouldn't be popular in some places....and a piggery wouldn't in others.
