lyrics

A-Reaping

I will go with my family a-plowing
To the green field by the sea,
And the rooks and the crows and the seagulls
Will come flocking after me.

I will sing to the patient horses
With the lark in the white of the air,
And my father will sing the plough-song
That blesses the cleaving share.


I will go with my family a-sowing
To the red field by the sea,
And the rooks and the gulls and the starlings
Will come flocking after me.
(Chorus)
I will sing to the striding sowers
With the finch on the flowering sloe,
And my mother will sing the seed-song
That only the wise ones know.

I will go with my family a-reaping
To the brown field by the sea,
And the geese and the crows and the children
Will come flocking after me.

I will sing to the weary reapers
With the wren in the heat of the sun,
And my brother will sing the scythe-song
That joys for the harvest done.
And my sister will sing the scythe-song
That joys for the harvest-- done

I will go with my family a-ploughing
To the green field - by - the sea
