CAPO 3 FRET
SImIron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust
An October's day, towards evening
MImDOSweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough
DO RESalt on a deep chest seasoning
MIm DOLast of the line at an honest day's toil
DO RETurning the deep sod under
MIm DOFlint at the fetlock, chasing the bone
DO REFlies at the nostrils plunder.
DOThe Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie
with the Shire on his feathers floating
Hauling soft timber into the dusk
DO REREsus4 SOLto bed on a warm straw coating.
FA#7 SIm SOL SImSOL LAHeavy Horses, move the land under me
FA#7 SImSOL SImBehind the plough gliding --- slipping and sliding free
FA#7 SOLNow you're down to the few
And there's no work to do
DOThe tractor's on its way.
Let me find you a filly for your proud stallion seed
to keep the old line going.
And we'll stand you abreast at the back of the wood
behind the young trees growing
To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth,
and your eighteen hands at the shoulder
And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry
and the nights are seen to draw colder
They'll beg for your strength, your gentle power
your noble grace and your bearing
And you'll strain once again to the sound of the gulls
in the wake of the deep plough, sharing.
Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill
Up into the cold wind facing
In stiff battle harness, chained to the world
Against the low sun racing
Bring me a wheel of oaken wood
A rein of polished leather
A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky
Brewing heavy weather.
Bring a song for the evening
Clean brass to flash the dawn
across these acres glistening
like dew on a carpet lawn
In these dark towns folk lie sleeping
as the heavy horses thunder by
to wake the dying city
with the living horseman's cry
At once the old hands quicken ---
bring pick and wisp and curry comb ---
thrill to the sound of all
the heavy horses coming home.
