STABLE BOY
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

WAY, HEY! LISTEN TO ME PLAY!
WON'T YOU THROW BUT A SHILLING OR A COPPER MY WAY?
TALES OF LIFE. LOVE, SORROW AND JOY
ARE THE SONGS THAT ARE SUNG BY THE STABLE BOY!

Well, I dream of the life of a bard on the road
Yet the wages they pay, would scarcely feed the load
So with hoe in my hand and with rake at my side
I would care after horses for the ladies to ride

Well, the farmer, he calls me into his big home
Sayin' "Pretty stable boy, on the road you now must roam!
Though you do fine work, I admit that is true,
I have found me a man who will work for half as you!"

Well, I woke the next morning, the sky was bright blue
And the farmer, he said, "There's a favour you must do!
I've a gathering of orphans with nowhere to be,
You must teach them to ride so that they can work for me!"

Well, we work every morning and ride every day
We muck out the stalls and we feed the horses hay
We're such excellent workers the foreman believes
I could own this estate with my band of little thieves!
