Couldn't find it on the internet so I used the good old "Play, Pause, Write it down" method on my CD Player!!!
Should be fairly close to the exact words.....
Farmer Bill's Cowman
(Spoken) It�s a hard life when you�re working on the farm
Down on the farm I don�t need no alarm
I raise from my bed at 5:30
Around 6 o�clock I puts on me smock
I�m feeling like Burlington Bertie
Out in the pen there�s a broody old hen
She is as wild as a tiger
You try to touch her egg and she�ll bite off your leg
I feeds her on faggots and cider
(Chorus)
La la la la, oaar oaar aaar
They call me farmer bill�s cowman
La la la la, oha oha oha
I�d rather be farmer bill�s cowman
(Spoken) She was a proper little road island red
I work very hard out in the yard
Smooching around in the muck sir
I drink every night, plays tricks with my sight
I can�t tell a drake from a duck sir
I felt such a fool tried milking the bull
He must have enjoyed it somehow man
Now everyday at 3 he comes and says, �I�m free�
That�s why I�m farmer bill�s cowman
(Chorus)
(Spoken) I thinks he�s got his eye on me
Day after day I labour away
As work in cowshed keeps piling
With shovel and stick I lays it on thick
In spite of the sight I keep smiling
It twer love at first sight � I loved her alright
But she were engaged to the ploughman
Now I�m her debonair � Somerset millionaire
I�m only farmer bill�s cowman
(Chorus to fade)
