The Farmer
Chris Wood

On Christmas Day it happened so

Down in the meadows for to plough,

As he was ploughing all on so fast

Up came sweet Jesus himself at last.


“Oh man, oh man, what makes you plough

So hard upon The Lord's birthday?”

The farmer answered him with great speed,

“For to plough this day I have got need.”


His wife and children's out of place,

His beasts and cattle they’re almost lost.


His beasts and cattle they die away

For ploughing on The Lord’s birthday.

His beasts and cattle they die away

For the breaking of Our Lord's birthday.


This is the truth sent from above,

The truth of God, the God of love.

Therefore don't turn me from your door

But hearken all both rich and poor, rich and poor.
