Three Acres and a Cow, from Francis Shergold (not the music hall song). Lyrics add?

We’ve toiled my lads both early and late
To earn a few good meals?
While Squire and Farmer lived in state
And crushed us ‘neath their heel

But brighter days are coming lass
To you and me I’ll vow?
And those who took us by the hand
Three acres and a cow

Just think on that my own dear wife
And soothe your careworn brow
Good fortune bring to you and them
Three acres and a cow

The heavy clouds are forming fast
Though dim the peasant’s lot?
The bad old days for them are past
And hope shines in our lot

There is a vote within this land
That we shall too soon have known
And those who took us by the hand
Three acres and a cow

Just think on that my own dear wife
And soothe your careworn brow
Good fortune bring to those who sing
Three acres and a cow

"Three acres and a cow" was a political slogan used both for and against the Liberals in the UK General Election of 1885. It spawned many songs, mostly music hall in style, but Francis Shergold's seems unique to him so I thought it worth mentioning here.

I note that John Baxter is also hot on the trail, got further than I did, and has kindly shared his research here (get 'em while they're hot!), although my transcription above differs marginally from his:
