“Oats, Peas, Beans and Barley Grow” 
Chorus:
Oats, peas, beans and barley grow,
Oats, peas, beans and barley grow,
Do you, or I, or anyone know,
How oats, peas, beans and barley grow?
1.

First the farmer sows his seed,
Stands erect and takes his ease,
He stamps his foot and claps his hands,
And turns around to view his lands.
Chorus
2.
 Next the farmer waters the seed,
Stands erect and takes his ease,
He stamps his foot and claps his hands,
And turns around to view his lands.
Chorus
3.

Next the farmer hoes the weeds,
Stands erect and takes his ease,
He stamps his foot and claps his hands,
And turns around to view his lands.
Chorus
4.

Last the farmer harvests his seed,
Stands erect and takes his ease,
He stamps his foot and claps his hands,
And turns around to view his lands.
Chorus
