[C] The [F] sun had set behind yon hill, a-[Bb]cross yon dreary [C] moor
When [G] weary and lame, a [C] boy there came, up to the [G] farmer's [C] door
Can you tell me if any there be one [F] that will give me em-[C]ploy
To [F] plough and sow, to [Bb] reap and [F] mow and be a [C] farmer's [F] bo-[Dm]oy,
To [G] be a [C] Farmer's [F] Boy
The farmer wife said, 'Try the lad, no further let [Bb] him no longer [C] seek'
'Oh, yes, [G] father do,' the [C] daughter cried, as the [G] tears ran down her [C] cheek
For those who would work, it's hard to hold and [F] wander for em-[C]ploy
Don't [F] let him go but [Bb] let him [F] stay and be a {C} Farmer's [F] bo-[Dm]oy,
To [G] be a [C] Farmer's [F] Boy
{sos}

{eos}
The [F] Farmer's Boy grew up a man, and the [Bb] good old couple [C] died
They [G] left the lad the [C] farm he had, and the daughter [G] for his [C] bride
Now the lad as was the farm now has and he oftern smiles with [C] joy
And will [F] bless the day, he [Bb] came that [F] way to be a [C] Farmer's [F] bo-[Dm]oy
To [G] be a [C] Farmer's [F] Boy
And will [F] bless the day, he [Bb] came that [F] way to be a [C] Farmer's [F] bo-[Dm]oy
To [G] be a [C] Farmer's [Bb] Boy [F]
