Dm
There once was a farmer from old Flotsam town
        N.C.
Who was tired of sowing his seeds on the ground
   N.C.
He went for a wander and walked till the dawn
       N.C.
Till a wanton old she troll he stumbled upon

[Chorus]
      Dm          A           Dm
And a hey-ho he's ploughing a troll!
    Dm                     Am
The gods only know how the key fits the hole
 Bb                          Dm
Around in the stinking great den they did roll
      A                       Dm
And a hey-ho he's ploughing a troll!

[Verse]
    Dm
The farmer he knew it was love at first sight
     N.C.
They ploughed through the morning and into the night
     N.C.
With teeth rotten black and a rank leather hide
     N.C.
This hideous creature his bestial bride

[Chorus]
      Dm          A           Dm
And a hey-ho he's ploughing a troll!
    Dm                     Am
The gods only know how the key fits the hole
  Bb                     Dm
A cavernous cave for his puny old pole
      A                       Dm
And a hey-ho he's ploughing a troll!

[Verse]
      Dm
After time his excitement it started to droop
   N.C.
He groaned at her farts and her cold onion soup
    N.C.
The troll fixed his eye with a scowl made of stone
             N.C.
And when the guards came around all they found were his bones

[Chorus]
      Dm            A           Dm
And a hey-ho he was ploughing a troll!
    Dm                     Am
The gods only know how the key fit the hole
   Bb                  Dm
No burial mound and no rest for his soul
        A                         Dm
Because hey-ho he was ploughing a troll!

[Chorus]

And a hey-ho he was ploughing a troll!
    Dm                     Am
The gods only know how the key fit the hole
  Bb                       Dm
A dirty auld tale from the bed to the bowl
        A                         Dm
Because hey-ho he was ploughing a troll!
