Jolly Farmers?

[proudmary]

Hello all
My dad who is 76 is trying to recall a poem/rhyme he sang was he was about ten years old, it's about Jolly Farmers, does anyone out there have any idea what poem he is talking about or where I can look to find the words?

Many, thanks

Hello Proudmary,
Is your Dad thinking of Jim The Carter Lad which goes:-
Smack crack goes my whip, I whistle and I sing.
I had heard the song and I just found it on Google by putting that one line in.
