¶Lyrics / Text

Your hay it is mow'd, and your corn is reap'd; Your barns will be full, and your hovels heap'd: Come, boys, come; Come, boys, come; And merrily roar out our Harvest Home. CHORUS Come, boys, come; Come, boys, come; And merrily roar our Harvest Home. We cheated the parson, we'll cheat him again, For why should a blockhead have one in ten? One in ten, One in ten, For why should a blockhead have one in ten? For prating so long like a book-learn'd sot, Till pudding and dumpling burn to pot, Burn to pot, Burn to pot, Till pudding and dumpling burn to pot. CHORUS Burn to pot, Burn to pot, Till pudding and dumpling burn to pot. We'll toss off our ale till we cannot stand, And heigh for the honour of Old England: Old England, Old England, And heigh for the honour of Old England. CHORUS Old England, Old England, And heigh for the honour of Old England.
