Song Lyrics

Verse 1
My father left me an acre of land;
Refrain
There goes this ivery,
My father left me an acre of land,
Chorus
And a bunch of green holly and ivery.
Verse 2
I ploughed it with my ram's horn;
I sowed it with my thimble.
Verse 3
I harrowed it with my bramble bush;
I reaped it with my penknife.
Verse 4
I sent it home in a walnut shell;
I threshed it with my needle and thread.
Verse 5
I winnowed it with my handkerchief;
I sent it to mill with a team of great rats.
Verse 6
The carter brought a curly whip;
The whip did pop and the wagon did stop.
