Lyrics

[Verse 1] High climbs the summer sun High stands the corn And tonight, when my work is done [Pre-Chorus] We will borrow your father's carriage We will drink and prepare for marriage Soon, my darling Soon, my darling [Chorus] Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages? [Verse 2] Deep under winter snow Deep lay the lambs And tonight by the full moon's glow [Pre-Chorus] Flask of wine on my feather bedding We will drink and prepare for wedding Soon, my darling Soon, my darling [Chorus] Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages? [Bridge] People think that I'm no good Painting pictures, carving wood Be a rich man if I could But the only job I do well is here on the farm On the farm And it's breaking my back [Pre-Chorus] We will borrow your father's carriage We will drink and prepare for marriage Soon, my darling Soon, my darling [Chorus] Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping How can we feed [Chorus] Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping How can we feed love on a farmboy's Love on a farmboy's Love on a farmboy's wages?
