Oats, Peas, Beans and Barley Grow - Lyrics

Note: Some people prefer to just sing the first (and most common) verse. But here you got all verses:

Oats, peas, beans and barley grow,
Oats, peas, beans and barley grow.
Can you or I or anyone know;
How oats, peas, beans and barley grow?

First the farmer sows his seed,
Then he stands and takes his ease,
Stamps his feet and claps his hands,
And turns around to view his land.

Next the farmer waters the seed,
Then he stands and takes his ease.
Stamps his feet and claps his hands,
And turns around to view his land.

Next the farmer hoes the weed,
Then he stands and takes his ease.
Stamps his feet and claps his hands,
And turns around to view his land.

Last the farmer harvests the seed,
Then he stands and takes his ease.
Stamps his feet and claps his hands,
And turns around to view his land
