[Verse]
F
Down on the farm, I don't need no alarm,
C
I rise from the bed at five thirty
Around six o'clock, I puts on me smock
F
I feel just like Burlington Bertie
Out in the pen, there's a broody old hen
A#
She is as wild as a tiger
F C
You try to touch her egg, and she'll bite off your leg
F C# C
I feeds her on faggots* and cider!
[Chorus]

La la la la, ooh arr ooh arr arr,

They call me Farmer Bill's Cowman
La la la la, ooh arr ooh arr arr

I'm proud to be Farmer Bill's Cowman!

F
I works very hard, out in the yard,
C
Just squelchin' around in the muck, Sir,
A drink every night, plays tricks with me sight,
F
I can't tell a drake from a duck, Sir
I felt such a fool, tried milking the bull,
A#
He must have enjoyed it somehow, Man,
F C
Now every day at three, he comes and says "I'm free!"
F C# C
That's why I'm Farmer Bill's Cowman!

F
Day after day, I labours away,
C
As work in the Cowshed keeps pilin'
With shovel and stick, I lays it on thick,
F
In spite of the sight I keeps smilin'
It was love at first sight, I loved her all right,
A#
But she was engaged to the ploughman,
F C
Now I'm her debonair Somerset millionaire -
F C# F#
I'm only Farmer Bills Cowman!
