The Farmer Plows the Ground
(Sing to tune of "Here we go ‘Round the Mulberry Bush")
First the farmer plows the ground
(Make plowing motions)
Plows the ground
Plows the ground
First the farmer plows the ground,
And then he plants the seeds.
(Make sprinkling actions)
This is the way he plants the seeds,
(Move hands to show planting)
Plants the seeds,
Plants the seeds,
This is the way he plants the seeds,
So that they will grow.
The sun and rain will help them grow,
(Move hands up like plants wiggling up through the soil)
Help them grow,
Help them grow,
The sun and rain will help them grow,
Right up through the ground.
Now the farmer picks the grain,
(Hands make picking action)
Picks the grain,
Picks the grain,
Now the farmer picks the grain,
So we can have bread to eat!
(Pretend to eat)
