lyrics

I didn't like him much, when we first met,
But at that point I hadn't seen nothing yet,
Realized I should give him a second chance,
If I wanted to get into his good books,

My love, he is handsome, my love, he is kind,
My love has a truly fantastic beehive,
Where the bees make sweet sweet honey for me,
We rejoice in the joys of the country,

Wish I could remember how it all began,
We decided to buy a few acres of land,
Always knew that I wanted a piece of that,
Ask me no more questions,

My love, he is handsome, my love, he is young,
My love he is rather impressively hungry,
For the treats I bring him with afternoon tea,
We rejoice in the joys of the country,

Watching the pigs as they roll in the hay,
Feeding the chickens, and hoping they'll lay,
Milking the cows, and cutting the grass,
It's hot, dirty work, working hard on the farm,

My love picks an apple, my love picks a plum,
My love has a talent, for making me covet,
All the juicy delights he picks straight from the tree,
We rejoice in the joys of the country
