[Verse 1]
We own a country dwelling
Two bed, one (?) and both our (agency?)
An old backyard that is a sight to see
And there we love to roam
The truth is worth a telling
This country scene has been a bit patched up
But none can say that we have bought a sum (shack?)
'Cause that's our happy home
[Chorus]
We're truly rural gentlemen
As happy as it can be
The rain may come through now and then
But we are living rent free
The roof may slope, and we're soaked too
but don't say (?)
For the very, very nourishing
cauliflowers are flourishing*
Everything is for the best
In a happy and harmonious
Never acrimonious
Liver gray home in the west*
[Verse 2]
We own a hen called Hetty
And though she hasn't laid an egg and yet
That may be her idea of etiquette
Or perhaps she's not a hen
The goose is called Aunt Fetty*
We live with her on most delightful terms
And every day she eats a hand of worms
And goes to bed at ten
[Chorus]
