[00:00.30]The Old Man - Kate Rusby
[00:19.36]There was an old man who lived in a wood
[00:21.52]As you can plainly see
[00:23.86]He said he could do as much work in a day
[00:26.28]As his wife could do in three
[00:28.66]With all my heart the woman she said
[00:30.97]If that's what you will allow
[00:33.17]Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead
[00:35.80]And I go drive the plough
[00:39.07]But you must milk our Tidy the cow
[00:41.55]For fear she will go dry
[00:43.80]You must feed the littlest pigs
[00:46.24]That are within the sty
[00:48.35]And you must mind the speckled hen
[00:50.82]For fear she'll lay away
[00:53.08]And then you must reel the spool of yarn
[00:55.63]That I spun yesterday
[01:01.54]The woman she took up her staff in her hand
[01:03.59]And she went to drive the plough
[01:05.91]The old man took up a pale in his hand
[01:08.25]And he went to milk the cow
[01:10.59]But Tidy hinched and Tidy flinched
[01:12.88]And Tidy broke his nose
[01:16.39]And Tidy she gave to him such a big blow
[01:18.83]The poor man took to his toes
[01:44.27]Hi Tidy home Tidy
[01:46.45]Tidy thou stand still
[01:48.58]If ever I'm ill be tidy again
[01:50.93]Be sore against my will
[01:53.16]He went to feed the little pigs
[01:55.47]That were within the sty
[01:57.81]He hit his big head upon a thick beam
[02:00.23]And he made his red blood fly
[02:06.53]He went to find the speckledy hen
[02:08.36]For fear she'd lay astray
[02:10.54]Forgot to reel the spool of yarn
[02:12.96]His wife spun yesterday
[02:15.07]He swore by the sun  the moon  the stars
[02:17.54]The green leaves on the tree
[02:20.90]If his wife didn't do a days work in her life
[02:23.30]She won't be ruled by he
[02:26.75]There was an old man who lived in a wood
[02:29.04]As you can plainly see
[02:31.21]He said he could do as much work in a day
[02:33.68]As his wife could do in three
[02:35.82]With all my heart the woman she said
[02:38.28]If that's what you will allow
[02:41.75]Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead
[02:44.05]And I go drive the plough
