The Old Thrashing Mill - Brier[00:00:00]

As I walked down the road on this fine autumn morn[00:00:06]

I can see the great combine collecting the corn[00:00:10]

And my mind wanders back in a moment of joy[00:00:15]

To the day of the thresher when I was a boy[00:00:19]

All over the valley you could hear the strange sound[00:00:23]

Of that mighty machine on its annual round[00:00:28]

All the men in the town land would follow at will[00:00:33]

And they'd all lend a hand with the old threshin' mill[00:00:38]

So boil up the bacon and the cabbage that's green[00:00:42]

Have plenty of spuds laced with butter between[00:00:46]

For eight empty bellies will soon need a fill[00:00:52]

For it makes a man hungry the old threshing mill[00:00:56]

There were two on the thresher and two on the stack[00:01:01]

And the man with the fork kept the straw flyin' back[00:01:06]

There were bottles of porter and plenty of fags[00:01:10]

And old Larry Andy looked after the bags[00:01:14]

Then a few of the boys built the straw in the reek[00:01:18]

While the young ones were found playing hide-and-go-seek[00:01:23]

And myself and my brother with the dogs and the cats[00:01:28]

Had the time of our lives chasing after the rats[00:01:33]

So boil up the bacon and the cabbage that's green[00:01:37]

Have plenty of spuds laced with butter between[00:01:41]

For eight empty bellies will soon need a fill[00:01:47]

For it makes a man hungry the old threshin' mill[00:01:51]

But the times keep on changing and nothing stands still[00:02:02]

Larry Emdy is gone like his old threshin' mill[00:02:06]

And the most of the workers I knew as a child[00:02:10]

Have reaped the great harvest for which they have toiled[00:02:15]

No more in the valley we'll hear that machine[00:02:19]

For just like the corn crate they're gone from the scene[00:02:23]

But it makes me feel sad as I dream of it still[00:02:29]

For I long for the dear sound of the old threshin' mill[00:02:33]

So boil up the bacon and the cabbage that's green[00:02:37]

Have plenty of spuds laced with butter between[00:02:42]

For eight empty bellies will soon need a fill[00:02:47]

For it makes a man hungry the old threshin' mill[00:02:51]

So boil up the bacon and the cabbage that's green[00:02:56]

Have plenty of spuds laced with butter between[00:03:00]

For eight empty bellies will soon need a fill[00:03:05]

For it makes a man hungry the old threshin' mill[00:03:10]
