The Ploughing Song

People do pour to Tullamore to the ploughing championships
They park in roads and fields and lanes and the odd one on the ditch
When the rush is on from the crack of
dawn throw the flask and wellies in the car
Then we spin the whole way in till we dont know where we are

And that is why
We love to pack and head for the craic to the ploughing championships
Where we walk around and gobble down free food and bags of chips
Well it is a good test even for the
best so make sure you take time to sit
When ya fill your backpack and wanna
head back make sure you buy a stick.

There's cars and tractors and diggers and trucks
And some do buy and some just look
The sheds and animals houses and stalls
And new inventions to demonstrate all
Theres music food bars and dance
Theres funfair rides if ya dare to chance
There's leaflets, sweets, games and toys
For all the big and small girls and boys

And that is why
We love to pack and head for the craic to the ploughing championships
Where we walk around and gobble down free food and bags of chips
Well it is a good test even for the
best so make sure you take time to sit
When your working through this riddle you can dance to the fiddle!

Not forgetin' the mighty plough
They turn the field from crop to soil
The 1 score 10 score vari- width
Well theres ones ya drag and thers ones ya lift
Well they drive up and down til the
field is brown along this 3 day test
And at the end of 100 acres they do pick the best

And that is why
We love to pack and head for the craic to the ploughing championships
Where we walk around and gobble down free food and bags of chips
Well it is a good test even for the
best so make sure you take time to sit
When ya fill your backpack and wanna
head back make sure you buy a stick.
