Drayton incline
drag me further down
just another village
like so many come around
this hills stole the life
of one good donkey and one bad son
and may take many others
after my time tillings done
while my back is good and willing, in Drayton I’ll be tilling (rolling down his time)
Drayton fields
steal my day away
since my wife went and died
I sleep alone in your hay
I’ve still one bad donkey
and I’ve still got one good son
I’d wish it were the other way
while there’s tilling to be done
while my back is good and willing, in Drayton I’ll be tilling (rolling down his time)
