Thank you. Yes, I found that, so it is the right song. Have ordered the CD so will hopefully be able to work out the lyrics.

I found this quote in a review. (Starship: your identification is correct.)

I can cook; I can clean.
I can sew; I can glean.
As a hostess I am a real charmer;
But jolly girls all,
Pay heed to my call:
God help you if you marry a farmer.

Try Sid Kipper's 'East Side Story', "The Farmer's Crumpet".

I heard a song at the Dartmoor folk festival this year and really liked it but i can't remember the lyrics.
It was about the life of a farmers wife and how she had to just as much of not more than the farmer. i am fairly sure the chorus contained the lines
I can cook , I can clean,
I can sew, I can glean

Thanks for any help
