Send "Shanty Boy And The Farmers Son" Ringtone to your Cell The Shanty Boy and the Farmer`s Son (Collected by Ellen Stekert from Ezra `Fuzzy` Barhight, Recorded by Stekert 1958 on Songs of a New York Lumberjack, Folkways FA2354)(Tom Gibney sings `The Irish Girl` to the same tune) As I strolled out one evening as the sun was going down, I strolled along quite carelessly till I come to Scranton town. There I overheard two ladies, as slowly I passed by One said she loved her farmer`s son, the other a shanty boy. Now the one that loved the farmer`s son, these words I heard her say; The reason why she loved him, at home with her he`d stay. He would stay at home all winter, to the woods he would not go And when the spring it did come in, his land he`d plow and sow. `Now as for plowing and sowing your land,` the other one did say, `If your crops should prove a failure, your debts you could not pay. If your crops should prove a failure, or your grain market be low, The sheriff ofttimes would sell those crops for to pay the debts you owe.` `Now, there`s no need of going in debt when you own a good farm, For every day you earn your bread, not work through rain or storm. For every day you earn your bread, not work through storm or rain, While the shanty boy works hard all day his family to maintain.` `Now I don`t like this soft talk,` this other one did say, `For some of them they are so green the cows would eat for hay; How plainly you can tell him, when he rolls into town, You`ll hear them cry out from a small boy up `Why Dick, how are you down?`` `Now I do like my shanty boy that goes out in the fall, For he is tough and rugged, and fit to stand the squall; He gets big pay all winter and in the spring when he comes down, His money with me he will spend free while the mossback sons have none.` `Well here is to your shanty boy, I hope you`ll pardon me And of my ignorant mossback, I`ll try now and get free; And if ever I gain my liberty, with a shanty boy I`ll go, And I`ll leave that ignorant mossback with his land to plow and sow.` @work filename[ SHANTYBO play.exe SHANTYBO RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Send " Shanty Boy And The Farmers Son" Ringtone to your Cell Shanty Boy And The Farmers Son lyrics @ Burbler Lyrics | Shanty Boy And The Farmers Son lyrics @ ELyrics | Shanty Boy And The Farmers Son lyrics @ Kovideo | Lyrics and Video @ MusicBabylon | Shanty Boy And The Farmers Son lyrics @ Songlyrics | Shanty Boy And The Farmers Son lyrics @ ELyricsWorld
