I would very much like the words for this song.

By the way, this is a brilliant website - I use it very often and have told all my "singing" mates.

There was a thread on this one before:

The rusty, cold farmer

THE RUSTY, COLD FARMER

I'm a rusty, cold farmer in a cottage well thatched
My rusty, cold cupboard is full
In my rusty, cold garden, there's chickens and ducks
Ane a pig and a sheep and a bull

CHO: I brew home-brewed bread and I brew home-brewed cheese
I brew home-brewed beer and I drink it
My rusty, cold knowledge is second to none
I don't say a lot but I think it

At four in the morning, I rise from my bed
For that is the lot of the farmer
If you saw my missus then you'd understand
I call her my morning alarmer

On Monday and Tuesday, I take life quite slow
On Wednesday and Thursday, I slack
On Friday and Saturday, I don't do a sight
And by Sunday I'm flat on my back

In Spring that's too wet to go on the land
In Summer that's always too dry
In Autumn that's cold and the crops get the mould
And that's how we keep the prices high

There's April, there's May, there's June and July
There's August, September, October and then
November, December, January, February
And March. Then we all start again

The version in that thread seems correct, but the last two verses are in the wrong order - the order should be Days, then Months, then Seasons

Snuffy:

Days, months, then seasons sounds right but we copied the words from their song book "Since Time Immoral" and that's the order they were in. Oh, well, what do the Kippers know about this anyway?

George could have told them what order the verses were in but he was being detained "At Her Majesty's Pleasure" at the time!

IIRC the songbook was published by EFDSS, so that will be where the errors crept in!

THE RUSTY COLD FARMER

I'm a rusty, cold farmer in a cottage well thatched,
My rusty, cold cupboard is full.
In my rusty, cold garden there's chickens and ducks
And a pig and a sheep and a bull.

I brew home brewed bread and I brew home brewed cheese
I brew home brewed beer and I drink it
My rusty cold knowledge is second to none
I don't say a lot but I think it.

At four in the morning I rise from my bed
For that is the lot of the farmer
If you saw my missus then you'd understand
I call her my morning alarmer.

On Monday and Tuesday I take life quite slow,
On Wednesday and Thursday I slack.
On Friday and Saturday I don't do a sight
And by Sunday I'm flat on my back.

In Spring that's too wet to go on the land
In Summer that's always too dry.
In Autumn that's cold and the crops get the mould
And that's how we keep the prices high.

There's April, there's May, there's June and July,
There's August, September, October and then
November, December, January, February
And March. Then we all start again.

Thanks for looking. Strange nobody's YouTubed the Kipper version, or performed their own version, of this classic.
