WHEN I TOOK THE HORSES TO GRAZE
Hudba: česká lidová / Text: Mark Landry

When I took the horses to graze
The time came for some shuteye
Shuteye, shuteye, just some shuteye
The horses got in the rye

A rascalpeasant came to me
Who was master of some rye
What do you do that you have
Horses in rye, you rascally guy?

I have never been a rascal
I am a good mother's son
If another but you said it
I'd stand up to anyone

For seven years I've worked for you
and nothing of yours was lost
Only just a little linchpin
For which I'll return the cost

For seven years I've worked for you
And nothing has been stolen
Only just a small sugar loaf
And I fell from the loft then

For seven years I've worked for you
Receiving nothing from you
Only just a dear little shirt
And you took that from me too

I am a man who is fit and
Has not against him any
There is only your little Beth
And she'll not speak against me

If she wanted to reveal it
It's something she could not do
But for roses from the garden
Is the place we could go to
