Part 3 — THE PLOUGHMAN.
Reading edition
The ploughman he comes home at night, When he is wet and weary, Puts off the wet, puts on the dry, And goes to bed my deary. I will wash the ploughman’s clothes, I will wash them clean, O; I will wash the ploughman’s clothes, And dry them on the green, O. The ploughman he comes home fu’ late, When he wi’ wark is weary; Dights off his shirt that is se wet; And supper makes him cheery. I will wash the ploughman’s clothes, I will wash them white, O; I will wash the ploughman’s clothes, And dry them on the dyke, O.
