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.
