Harvest Home

Melody -

Traditional ballad

Come, Roger and Nell,
Come, Simpkin and Bell,
Each lad with his lass hither come;
With singing and dancing,
And pleasure advancing,
To celebrate harvest-home!
Chorus:
'Tis Ceres bids play,
And keep holiday,
To celebrate harvest-home!
|: Harvest-home! :|
To celebrate harvest-home!

2. Our labour is o'er,
Our barns, in full store,
Now swell with rich gifts of the land;
Let each man then take,
For the prong and the rake,
His can and his lass in his hand.
Chorus:

3. No courtier can be
So happy as we,
In innocence, pastime, and mirth;
While thus we carouse,
With our sweetheart or spouse,
And rejoice o'er the fruits of the earth.
Chorus:
