ned rorem - is my team ploughing? lyrics
“is my team ploughing
that i was used to drive
and hear the harness jingle
when i was man alive?”
ay, the horses trample
the harness jingles now;
no change though you lie under
the land you used to plough
“is football playing
along the river+shore
with lads to chase the leather
now i stand up no more?”
ay, the ball is flying
the lads play heart and soul;
the goal stands up, the keeper
stands up to keep the goal
“is my girl happy
that i thought hard to leave
and has she tired of weeping
as she lies down at evе?”
ay, she lies down lightly
she liеs not down to weep:
your girl is well contented
be still, my lad, and sleep
“is my friend hearty
now i am thin and pine
and has he found to sleep in
a better bed than mine?”
yes, lad, i lie easy
i lie as lads would choose;
i cheer a dead man’s sweetheart
never ask me whose
