"Oh the happy. happy farmer, he just hustles
out of bed,
And goes shivering for the kindling, which he
chops out in the shed;
Then while "maw" is getting breakfast he runs
out to milk the cows,
And to pry the frozen hay up from dusty, dusty
mows.
"Oh, the happy, happy farmer, wades in snow
Out to where the wintry demons have been over
-, turning trees; -.
bites a his ears,
And at night he thaws the pump loose, and goes
out to do the chores,
Where the snow in long thin ridges filters
through the stable doors.
"Oh the happy, happy farmer, what a careless
life he leads.
Instead of always buying he just raises what
His neighbors don't ignore him if he's not as
rich as they
All he has, to do his work and keep the old gray
wolves away"
