An Acre of Land

My father left me an acre of land

Sing ivy, sing ivy

My father left me an acre of land

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

I plowed it with a ram's horn

Sing ivy, sing ivy

And sowed it all over with one peppercorn

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing ivy

I harrowed it next with a team of rats

Sing ivy, sing ivy

And reaped it with my little tooth comb

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

I sent it home in a walnut shell

Sing ivy, sing ivy

And thrashed it with a goose's quill

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing Ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing holly, go whistle and ivy

Sing ivy
