Some men curse and some complain
Beneath the strain
Beneath the strain

Break your heart beneath the wheat
It's OK
To face the strain

Ploughman drive the culture deep and straight
Drive it til my man is wide awake
Wide awake

Let me hold you through the night
I don't mind
Well, let me try

Who has told you not to cry'
That's not right
That's a lie

Ploughman drive the culture deep and straight
Drive it til my man is wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake

I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up love
I'm not giving up love

Bend yourself unto the ground
Just get down
Just get down
Watch the first light of dawn
It will come
It will come

Ploughman drive the culture deep and straight
Drive it til my baby's wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake (it will come)
Wide away (it will come)
It will
It will
