The farmer came to us, and thus did he say, "What have you been doing lads, all the long day? You've not ploughed your acre, I swear and I vow, You are all lazy fellows that follow the plough." With rubbing and scrubbing, I swear and I vow, That we're all jolly fellows that follow the plough. 5 The carter turns round with a twinkling eye, "We have all ploughed our acre, I tell you no lie, We have all ploughed our acre, I swear and I vow, So we're the right fellows that follow the plough." With rubbing and scrubbing, I swear and I vow, That we're all jolly fellows that follow the plough. 6 The farmer he laughed for he lovèd a joke "It is past two o'clock, boys, 'tis time to unyoke. Unharness your horses and rub them down well, And so I will give you a jug of brown ale." With rubbing and scrubbing, I swear and I vow, That we're all jolly fellows that follow the plough. 7 So, all my fine fellows, wherever you be, Come take my advice and be rulèd by me. Draw your furrows aright; plough your acre and know That such are the fellows to follow the plough. With rubbing and scrubbing, I swear and I vow, That we're all jolly fellows that follow the plough. No. 64 THE GOLDEN VANITY C.J.S. [Music] 1 A ship I have got in the North Country And she goes by the name of the Golden Vanity, O I fear she'll be taken by a Spanish Ga-la-lie, As she sails by the Low-lands low. 2 To the Captain then upspake the little Cabin-boy, He said, What is my fee, if the galley I destroy? The Spanish Ga-la-lie, if no more it shall annoy, As you sail by the Low-lands low. 3 Of silver and gold I will give to you a store; And my pretty little daughter that dwelleth on the shore, Of treasure and of fee as well, I'll give to thee galore, As we sail by the Low-lands low. 4 Then the boy bared his breast, and straightway leaped in, And he held all in his hand, an augur sharp and thin, And he swam until he came to the Spanish galleon, As she lay by the Low-lands low. 5 He bored with the augur, he bored once and twice, And some were playing cards, and some were playing dice, When the water flowed in it dazzled their eyes, And she sank by the Low-lands low. 6[20] So the Cabin-boy did swim all to the larboard side, Saying Captain! take me in, I am drifting with the tide! I will shoot you! I will kill you! the cruel Captain cried, You may sink by the Low-lands low. 7 Then the Cabin-boy did swim all to the starboard side Saying, Messmates take me in, I am drifting with the tide! Then they laid him on the deck, and he closed his eyes and died, As they sailed by the Low-lands low. 8[21]
