	2	OATS AND BEANS AND BARLEY
	—Sporle, Norfolk (Miss Matthews). I. Oats and beans and barley grow ! Oats and beans and barley grow! Do you or I or any one know How oats and beans and barley grow ? First the farmer sows his seed, Then he stands and takes his ease, Stamps his foot, and claps his hands, Then turns round to view the land. Waiting for a partner, waiting for a partner! Open the ring and take one in! Now you are married you must obey, You must be true to all you say,
