The Brisk Young Ploughboy - The Copper Family[00:00:00]

It was of a brisk young ploughboy [00:00:01]

Come listen to this refrain[00:00:03]

And join with me in chorus[00:00:06]

And sing the ploughboy's praise [00:00:09]

My song is of the ploughboy's praise[00:00:13]

And unto you I'll relate the same [00:00:16]

He whistles and sings and drives his plough [00:00:20]

The brave ploughboy [00:00:24]

So early in the morning the ploughboy he is seen[00:00:28]

All hastening to the stable his horses for to clean [00:00:34]

Their manes and tails he does comb straight [00:00:41]

With chaff and corn he will them bate[00:00:45]

And he'll endeavour to plough straight [00:00:48]

The brave ploughboy [00:00:52]

When he goes out in the morning[00:00:57]

To harrow plough or sow[00:01:00]

And with a gentle cast my boys [00:01:03]

He'll give his corn a throw [00:01:06]

All this I'll have you understand[00:01:10]

Is just to fill the reaper's hand [00:01:13]

Likewise I'll have you understand [00:01:17]

It comes from the ploughboy [00:01:21]

Now seedtime being over[00:01:26]

The fields look fresh and gay[00:01:29]

There's merry lads to mow[00:01:32]

The grass while damsels make the hay [00:01:34]

The small birds sing on every tree [00:01:39]

The cuckoo joins sweet harmony [00:01:42]

All welcome here as you may see [00:01:46]

The brave ploughboy [00:01:50]

Then haying being over[00:01:55]

And harvest does draw near [00:01:58]

Our Master he does welcome us[00:02:01]

With plenty of beef and beer [00:02:04]

We all sit round to drink our beer[00:02:09]

While Peace and Plenty fill the year[00:02:12]

And we'll be happy while we are here[00:02:16]

And drink to the ploughboy [00:02:20]

Now harvest being over[00:02:26]

We start the plough once more [00:02:29]

Our Master has invited us[00:02:32]

Unlocks his cellar door [00:02:35]

With cake and ale we have our fill[00:02:39]

Because we've done our work so well[00:02:42]

And there's no one can despise the skill[00:02:46]

Of the brave ploughboy[00:02:50]
