[Verse 1]
C
Come all jolly fellows
F G
Who delight in being mellow,
C F G
Attend unto me don't be lazy;
C
For a pint when it's quiet
F G
Come all let us try it
C F G C
For thinking can make us all crazy
[Verse 2]
C
Come sit at my table
F G
As many as able
C F G
I’ll not hear one word of complaining
C
For the tinkling of glasses
F G
All music surpasses
C F G C
I long to see bottles a-draining
[Chorus]
C
I have lawns I have bowers
F G
I have fields, I have flowers
C F G
And the lark is my daily alarmer
C
So jolly boys now
F G
Who follow the plough
C F G C
A health and success to the farmer
[Verse 3]
C
For here I am king,
F G
I can laugh, drink and sing,
C F G
Let no one approach as a stranger;
C
But show me the ass
F G
Who refuses a glass,
C F G C
I'll treat him to hay in a manger
[Chorus]
C
I have lawns I have bowers
F G
I have fields, I have flowers
C F G
And the lark is my daily alarmer
C
So jolly boys now
F G
Who follow the plough
C F G C
A health and success to the farmer
[Verse 4]
C
Let the wealthy and great
F G
Be in splendor and state
C F G
I envy them not I declare it
C
I eat my own ham,
F G
My own chickens and lamb
C F G C
I shear my own sheep and I wear it
[Chorus]
C
I have lawns I have bowers
F G
I have fields, I have flowers
C F G
And the lark is my daily alarmer
C
So jolly boys now
F G
Who follow the plough
C F G C
A health and success to the farmer
[Verse 5]
C
Were it not for my seeding
F G
You’d all have poor feeding
C F G
I’m sure you would all starve without me
C
But I am content
F G
When I’ve just paid the rent
C F G C
I’m happy when friends are around me
[Chorus]
C
I have lawns I have bowers
F G
I have fields, I have flowers
C F G
And the lark is my daily alarmer
C
So jolly boys now
F G
Who follow the plough
C F G C
A health and success to the farmer
