    Of all the farmers I ever heard, I think I heard a few,
    One of them is Lord Grandey who lives in poverty view,
    If you go work you must be a turk,
    And do that this as your told,
    Your shilling is stew make sure it is true,
    Or else you will get little all,

    Although I done him a dutch was not once before just half a more,
    When I killed the old chicken called crouch.
    John Fleming, Corballis, Rathdrum.
