Carve my furrow straight and long, This shall be my ploughing song, Always right and never wrong; Sniff the fresh-turned sod.
Press your foot down to the floor, Hear the engine squeal and roar, See the dirt bounce off the door; Sniff the fresh-turned sod.
Watch the blades churn through the turf, Cutting deep into the earth, Scare the rabbits giving birth; Sniff the fresh-turned sod.
Found on a hymn sheet issued by the Wenchoster Agricultural Mission dated January 2nd 1874.
