lyrics

Unexpected Company (sung with Holly VanAuken)

Have you come to plant a crop my friend Have you come to plant a crop Have you come to plant a crop lord lord On our countryside
I’ve not come to plant a crop my friend No I’ve not come to plant a crop I’ve not come to plant a crop my friend On your countryside
Have you come to dig a well my friend Have you come to dig a well Have you come to dig a well lord lord On our countryside
I’ve not come to dig a well my friend No I’ve not come to dig a well I’ve not come to dig a well my friend On your countryside
Have you come to feed the sheep my friend Have you come to feed the sheep While the little children sleep lord lord On our countryside
I’ve not come to feed the sheep my friend No I’ve not come to feed the sheep While your little children sleep my friend On your countryside
Have you come to sing a song my friend Have you come to bring a song Have you come to sing a song lord lord To our countryside
I’ve not come to sing a song my friend No I’ve not come to bring a song No I’ve not come to sing a song my friend On your countryside
You’ve not come to sing a song my friend And surely not to right our wrongs Then please tell us why you’ve come lord lord To our countryside
Yes I’ll tell you why I’ve come my friend I can tell you why I’ve come I have come to plant a flag my friend On your countryside
On your countryside
