High climbs the summer sun
  High stands the corn
  And tonight when my work is done
  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?
    Deep under winter snow
  Deep lay the lambs
  And tonight by the full moon's glow
  Flask of wine on my feather bedding
  We will drink and prepare for wedding
  Soon my darling, soon my darling
    [Chorus]
    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
    We will borrow your father's carriage
  We will drink and prepare for marriage
  Soon my darling, soon my darling
    [Chorus]
