Acre of Land Songtext
von Faustus

My father left me an acre of land
There goes this ivery
My father left me an acre of land
And a bunch of green holly and ivery

I ploughed it with my ram′s horn
There goes this ivery
I sowed it with my pepperbox
And a bunch of green holly and ivery

I harrowed it with my bramble bush
There goes this ivery
I reaped it with the blade of my knife
And a bunch of green holly and ivery


I sent it home in a walnut shell
There goes this ivery
I threshed it with my needle and thread
And a bunch of green holly and ivery

I winnowed it with my handkerchief
There goes this ivery
I sent to mill with a team of great rats
And a bunch of green holly and ivery

The carter brought a curly whip
There goes this ivery
The whip went pop, and the wagon stopped
And a bunch of green holly and ivery

My father left me an acre of land
There goes this ivery
My father left me an acre of land
And a bunch of green holly and ivery
A bunch of green holly and ivery
