THE FARMER’S SONS

 

(Instrumental intro)

 

Here lies the sad tale

Of a Farmer’s two lonely sons

And of a lovely city lady

Who brought them undone

When she came betrothed to one

A new bride, who was meant to be

They hoped she’d be

A part of the family

A part of a family

 

And so it was, in the beginning

They began to see

The ‘green eyed’ monster came

He gradually crept in

Eating up their harmony

Feeding off their jealousy

Until came that fateful day

From a reckless fall they say

 

He died in this needless way

 

They buried his soul still

On the bare homestead hill

(buried alone)

She found him out there

Still lost in his despair

Wearing the blame

Carrying the shame

Embracing his grief

She offered solace and relief

‘Till their hearts bound as one

So it was in the ending

A true love had begun

 

What more is left to say

When a young life is lost this way

But could it just be

The moral of this story

If you would only see

Two hearts would never divide by three.
