Is my team ploughing
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive
Ay the horses trample
The harness jingles now
No change though you lie under
The land you used to plough
Is my girl happy
That I thought hard to leave
And has she tired of weeping
As she lies down at eve
Ay she lies down lightly
She lies not down to weep
Your girl is well contented
Be still my lad and sleep
Is my friend hearty
Now I am thin and pine
And has he found to sleep in
A better bed than mine
Yes lad
Yes lad I lie easy
I lie as lads would choose
I cheer a dead man's sweetheart
Never ask me whose
