THE PLOUGHMAN'S RANT.
To its own Proper Tune.
The ploughman he's a bonny lad,
and all his work's at leisure,
And when that he comes home at e'en,
he kisses me with pleasure.
Up wi't a' my ploughman lad,
up wi't a' my ploughman,
Of a' the lads that I do know,
commend me to the ploughman.

commend me to the ploughman.
