Subject: Origins: Where be the horses where be the men?
I'm seeking the lyrics for this song which I heard John Haywood sing in Shropshire in the mid 1980s. John was a farmer and he may have written the song, all I can remember is the chorus:

Where be the horses?
Where be the men?
Machinery now rules the day
The air's full of diesel
The smell of that raw
And they do a week's work in a day
