The Farmer in the Dell | Nursery Rhyme
The farmer in the dell, The farmer in the dell. Hi-ho, the derry-o! The farmer in the dell. The farmer plants a seed, The farmer plants a seed. Hi-ho, the derry-o! The farmer plants a seed. The seed grows tall and green, The seed grows tall and green. Hi-ho, the derry-o! The seed grows tall and green. The wind begins to blow, The wind begins to blow. Hi-ho, the derry-o! The wind begins to blow. The rain starts to fall, The rain starts to fall. Hi-ho, the derry-o! The rain starts to fall. The sun shines bright, The sun shines bright. Hi-ho, the derry-o! The sun shines bright. The farmer reaps the yield, The farmer reaps the yield. Hi-ho, the derry-o! The farmer reaps the yield. The harvest is complete, The harvest is complete. Hi-ho, the derry-o! The harvest is complete.
