There was an old farmer
and he had a handsome wife
and another man loved her
just as dearly as he loved his life
and they often talked and tumbled
amongst the barley and among the straw
so early next morning
the old man he had rised
pulled a knife from his pocket
to kill that man and his wife
she said dear husband do forgive me
I never done the likes of this before
but its my country fashion
to play among the barley and among the straw
