Truly Rural Gentlemen lyrics

[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]
