An Acre Of Land Lyrics

An Acre Of Land Lyrics

My father left me an acre of land
Sing ivy, sing ivy
My father left me an acre of land
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

I plowed it with a ram's horn
Sing ivy, sing ivy
And sowed it all over with one peppercorn
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing ivy

I harrowed it with a team of rats
Sing ivy, sing ivy
And reaped it with my little tooth comb
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

I sent it home in a walnut shell
Sing ivy, sing ivy
And thrashed it with a goose's quill
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing holly, go whistle and ivy
Sing ivy
