《The Two Brethren》歌词

[00:00:00] The Two Brethren - Bob Cooper/Ron Copper

[00:00:01] Come all jolly ploughmen and help me to sing

[00:00:07] I will sing in the praise of you all

[00:00:12] If a man he don't labor how can he get bread

[00:00:18] I will sing and make merry withal

[00:00:25] It was of two young brethren

[00:00:28] Two young brethren born

[00:00:31] It was of two young brethren born

[00:00:36] One he was a shepherd and a tender of sheep

[00:00:42] The other a planter of corn

[00:00:48] We will rile it we will toil it

[00:00:52] Through mud and through clay

[00:00:55] We will plough it up deeper and low

[00:01:00] Then after comes the seedsman

[00:01:03] His corn for to sow

[00:01:06] And the harrows to rake it in rows

[00:01:12] There is April there is May

[00:01:16] There is June and july

[00:01:19] What a pleasure it is for to see the corn grow

[00:01:25] In August we will reap it

[00:01:28] We will cut sheathe and bind it

[00:01:32] And go down with our scythes for to mow

[00:01:39] And after we have reaped it of every sheaf

[00:01:45] And gathered up every ear

[00:01:50] With a drop of good beer boys

[00:01:53] And our hearts full of cheer

[00:01:57] We will wish them another good year

[00:02:03] Our barns they are full our fields they are cleared

[00:02:10] Good health to our master and friends

[00:02:15] We will make no more to do

[00:02:18] But we will plough and we'll sow

[00:02:22] And provide for the very next year
