The Farmer’s Sons

(Instrumental intro)

Here lies the sad tale
Of a Farmer’s two lonely sons
And of a lovely city lady
Who brought them undone
When she came betrothed to one
A new bride, who was meant to be
They hoped she’d be
A part of the family
A part of a family

And so it was, in the beginning
They began to see 
The ‘green eyed’ monster came
He gradually crept in
Eating up their harmony
Feeding off their jealousy
Until came that fateful day
From a reckless fall they say

He died in this needless way

They buried his soul still
On the bare homestead hill
(buried alone)
She found him out there
Still lost in his despair
Wearing the blame
Carrying the shame

Embracing his grief
She offered solace and relief
‘Till their hearts bound as one
So it was in the ending
A true love had begun

What more is left to say
When a young life is lost this way
But could it just be
The moral of this story
If you would only see
Two hearts would never divide by three.
