I have recorded my own "mash up" of the farmers arms & speed the plough with new lyric a the end Please feel free to comment Here are the lyrics & chords as used on the recording www.soundcloud.com/english-johnny Intro - Part 1 of GSP G I have lawns, I have bowers. C G I have fruit, I have flowers, G D And the lark is my morning alarmer; G So, jolly boys, now, C G Here's God speed the plough G Em D G Long life and success to the farmer. Let the wealthy and great Roll in splendor and state. I envy them not, I declare it; For I eat my own ham, My own chicken and lamb, I shear my own fleece and I wear it. Solo Were it not for my seeding You'd have but poor feeding; I reckon you'd all starve without me. But whatever the season, I have always good reason To have my companions about me Come all jolly fellows, That delight in being mellow, Attend unto me and sit easy. For a pint when tis quiet, My lads let us try it, For dull thinking drives a man crazy. Solo It's been raining since May We have no winter hay Animals are dying round me daily As I contemplate my fate I still have cheery wave For the vet in her brand new Mercedes I've debts I couldn't pay If I worked 30 hours a day I've been beggared and robbed by the likes of Arla So I'm off to the barn For I'll endure no further harm Short rope and long drop for the farmer Solo - Full god speed the plough I have lawns, I have bowers. I have fruit, I have flowers, And the lark is my morning alarmer; So, my jolly boys, now, Here's God speed the plough Long life and success to the farmer. G Em D G Long life and success to the farmer. G Em D G C G Long life and success to the farmer.
