Oats and beans and barley grows,
You or I or any one knows,
You or I or any one knows,
Where oats and beans and barley grows.

Thus the farmer sows his seed,
Stamps his feet and claps his hands,
And turns around to view the land.
Waiting for a partner,
Waiting for a partner,

Now you are married, &c.
[same as Much Wenlock.]

Oats, beans, and barley grows,
You or I or any one knows.
Thus the farmer sows his seed,
Thus he stands and takes his ease,
Stamps his feet and folds his hands,
And turns him round to view the lands.
Oh! waitin’ for a partner,
Waitin’ for a partner.

Now you’re married, &c.
[same as Much Wenlock.]

—Winterton (Miss Fowler).
