letra de dear bathsheeba everdene - mike hart

well dear bathsheeba everdene
on the farm that you keep
have you room for a wee fine herdsman
of twenty-five shillings a week?
i’ve worked a lot of places
and i think i know the job
and as we both love thomas hardy
then make it thirty bob

but you’re a writer, not a farmer
so i’d better change my trade
i’ll take up writing songs
cos for this i’m surely made
and i’ll keep the words in order
instead of herding cows
and let the c-cks lay the hens
and the hogs get in with the sows

but this will produce chaos
so let’s havе another look
you hire professional landsmеn
and i’ll buy me a book
and fill it full of songs for you
while you entertain
all the local gentry
i’ll be working down the lane
but still things that aren’t as in the plot
a hit record is what i need
so i’ll make a wonderful lp
and as a chivalrous deed
i’ll dedicate it to you
then to the cottage i’ll retire
while it zooms down the charts
at one hundred miles an hour

but then about page two hundred
as thomas hardy fans all know
i’ll lie down, win or lose you
but it doesn’t matter for now
it’s the fun we’ll have in the meantime
writing and farming away
you in the house, me in the cottage
both wondering “when’s the day?”
