The Barley-Mow Song (Suffolk Version.)

________________________________________________
Title:     The Barley-Mow Song (Suffolk Version.)
Author: Anonymous [More Titles by Anonymous]

[The peasantry of Suffolk sing the following version of the Barley-Mow Song.]


Here's a health to the barley mow!
Here's a health to the man
Who very well can
Both harrow and plow and sow!

When it is well sown
See it is well mown,
Both raked and gavelled clean,
And a barn to lay it in.
He's a health to the man
Who very well can
Both thrash and fan it clean!





[The end]
Anonymous's poem: Barley-Mow Song. (Suffolk Version.)
