Working on the Land

When the sun comes back
Get your spade in the ground
See the soil is black
When you turn it around

Boots on your feet
Cap on your head
Leave the concrete
Dig the earth instead

Wheather's breezy
Life is easy

You will understand
With a shovel in your hand
Working on the land

Carrots, peas
Asparagus too
Spread their seeds
For me and for you

Lavender and
Sunflowers grow
Twist and bend
And put on a show

Smelling sweetly
And discretely

You will understand
With a shovel in your hand
Working on the land

Seed sowing
Weed growing
Lawn mowing
Doing it again
Praying for some rain

When the day is done
Rest in the shade
You've had so much fun
With your bucket and spade

Ice cold beer
And potatoes to match
Chase the deer
From the vegetable patch

Don't go home yet
Watch the sunset

You will understand
With a shovel in your hand
Working on the land
