Janie and Harry decided to marry
and spend their lives on the farm
in 1930, work was hard and dirty
but they knew they would come to no harm
The first time Janie sat down by a cow
To milk it, she really didn\'t know how
Do I pull on one teat at a time
Or both at one side, the front and the hind
Oh! i\'ll Just get with the job, it does no good to whine
Harry arrived such a grin on his face
Janie he said, you look grand sitting there
The only thing is, you need a three legged stool
Not a dining room chair
The old cow decided enough was enough
The hind leg came up in the air
Poor Janie could have leapt off a stool
But not a dining room chair
The bucket fell over, the milk on the floor
Cats appeared from everywhere, the hayloft, the stable
And from the yard all rushing through the door
Lapping, Lapping as fast as they could
Not a drop will be left on the old mistal floor
The cats usually had six saucer\'s of milk
Not galleons as this seemed to be
All will have full tummies tonight
And they\'ll sleep - the mice can run free
Harry took Janie to meet the grey mare
Enormous, big feet, just standing there
It\'s a gentle giant said Harry, Janies thought I\'m not so sure
What on earth do we do with all that manure
It\'s good for the garden, the roses will bloom
The smell it too strong, we need air in this room
It\'s a stable said Harry. and the horse must be groomed
Hears a brush, you start at the front, i\'ll start at the rear
We\'ll meet in the middle, you need have no fear.
AAAH!! Screeched Janie it\'s stood on my foot
Harry Laughed Oh Janie - Thats just beginners back luck.
