Love on a Farmboy’s Wages XTC

[Verse 1]
High climbs the summer sun
High stands the corn
And tonight when my work is done

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We will borrow your father's carriage
We will drink and prepare for marriage
Soon, my darling
Soon, my darling

[Chorus]
Shilling for the fellow who brings the sheep in
Shilling for the fellow who milks the herd
Shilling for the fellow with a wife for keeping
How can we feed love on a farmboy's wages?

[Verse 2]
Deep under winter snow
Deep lay the lambs
And tonight by the full moon's glow

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Flask of wine on my feather bedding
We will drink and prepare for wedding
Soon, my darling
Soon, my darling
