Fertile Gold

Dig, dig, dig them up

Beets and radishes

Carrots and ginger

Fill the wheelbarrow

With rooted beauties

But we must save room

For the gloried ones

The Yukon Gold spuds

Dig, dig, dig them up

Cart the beauties back

To the great farmhouse,

Set some aside to

Sell in the market,

Keep the little ones

Scrub them 'til they shine

So they taste divine

Cook, cook, cook them up

A good stew for you

Grind the ginger for

Your tonics and tea

Roast the radishes

Boil, juice the beets

So many good eats

Cook, cook, cook them up

Give them to your kin

Let them lick their plates

And go to sleep full,

And you keep working

Washing grubby plates

And go to sleep late

Cart, cart, cart them off

To the market with

Your Yukon Gold spuds

Trade for milk and eggs

And other nice goods

Sell the rest for gold

Get home quick, you're told
