HI fairypunk! Welcome!

|There are several songs with that title, though the well-known one is definitely not Irish by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm afraid you need to give us a bit more info, bit of the chorus, plot, first line?

Hi, Fairypunk-

I've put crosslinks above to the other threads we have on songs called "Farmer's Boy." Take a look through them and let us know if one of them is the song you're seeking. If not, give us what you remember of the song, and maybe that will help us find it for you.

Also look in John Barleycorn and the Farmer's Boy, although I hate threads like that, that try to cover two unrelated songs.
