“My Father said thus work I’ve done, tis you my sons I want instead.
I tilled this land I made it green;

For my legacy is in these fields,
The Friesian cow a lacting sow,
An extra furrow for the Kverneland plough,
A tonne of barley; an acre of wheat,
You grew potatoes, you harvested beet,
The brown pound was earned sound,

Thus pay a bill, make it go round,
A toss for a Sherwood was hard found,

At the ‘Stack of Barley’ in our town,
No coat or cab na’re a silage grab,
You had a job to earn your next few bob.
In seventy seven the flash an steel

Your new found love a combine appeared.
A fork of lightning,

A flash of frightening,
Took seven of your cattle like an ace or a club,
In sporting love became the hub,

Your famous race horse ran in a three mile trob.
He worked his land in winter and sun,
Through many decades; the hard slog ones
Changing times days are done,

The men in vocabulary are written in stone,
This fine spring morning,

Without a warning
It’s so lonesome now your gone.”
