SONGS FOR THE I go out with the haymakers, And tumble on the hay ; They put me up upon the load, And home we drive away. I go into the pleasant fields And gather berries bright ; They ve many, many thousands there, All fresh and sweet and ripe. A pretty brook runs through the farm Singing so soft and sweet ; I sit upon the grassy bank, And bathe my little feet. A farmer I would like to be, They live so pleasantly ; They must be happy while they work, Singing so cheerfully. I think I’ll save all that I get, And earn all that I can, And buy me such a pleasant farm When I grow up a man.
