Lyrics
(Folk tune, Lyrics by Clara Belle Baker, 1921)
1. The farmer reaps the harvest,
The farmer reaps the harvest,
The farmer reaps the harvest
While we go round about.
While we go round about,
While we go round about,
The farmer reaps the harvest
While we go round about.
2. The baker bakes our biscuits…
3. The tailor makes our clothing…
4. The miner mines our silver…
5. The cobbler mends our slippers…
6. The carpenter builds our houses…
7. The blacksmith shoes our horses…
