about

This song was inspired by family life on our farm, and by a visit made with my class to another very special farm on the Bellinger River, in the Thora Valley, Australia.

lyrics

Patrick Potter had a really fine farm,
He had a beaut red tractor, that he kept in his barn,
Working in his garden was a treat and a charm,
Picking pumpkins pulses potatoes in each arm.
Farming days, collecting hay, making compost heaps with lots of worms,
Gives red cheeks to those who speak,
Fondly of the work that they have done-
Helping Brother Sun.
(Helping Sister Moon- Helping Father Star- Helping Mother Earth)
Prudence Potter had two true bright black cows,
she kept them in a paddock full of clover , to browse,
They gave her lots of milk and cream and unexpected flowers,
Going drip drop, drip drop, drip drop, near her blowse.
Penelope Potter had six chickens and a duck,
She had a ventriloquist goose that rode up near her in her truck,
Even on her horse , she was praying for good luck,
For goose would lay four eggs on legs and cluck.
