Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Two Farmers (from Mike Waterson)
Subject: Lyr Req: Two Farmers (lived by the mill)
Not the song about two farmers, a cow and a lawyer. This one was sung by Mike Waterson (click), about a farmer named Swan who raised ducks and a farmer named Duck who raised geese. I've been able to understand most of what he sings except for a few lines:

1. Two farmers lived by the mill,
[?????] still...

7. Now the schoolmaster shook his head
turning a little red,
then [round?] once more and said...

Can anyone tell me what the missing bits are? Also, anything about the provenance of this song?
