[Plowed-Ground]
My brDother, and I were fiGve and ten years Dold
We were headed for Uncle Grovers for a Ahaircut
Not Dto "walk on plowed grounGd," we were Dtold
But it was much shorter, so we tooAk the sDhortcut
SprinGg rains had made the plowed ground like Dmuck
Before you knowed it, little brother and I were Astuck
So scaDry, we thought we werGe in quick-Dsand
Then came Dad, in hip boots, to Alend us a Dhand
He carGried us Dout,
One under each Aarm
SaiDd he had heard ouGr mournful Dshout
Rescued us, saving Aus from hDarm
My brother, and I, we cleaned Goff the mud without a Dsound,
Looked at each other, and Aknew
We would Dnever, ever, again cut Gacross plowed grDound.
We would walk to Uncle Grovers,
But not "over ploAwed-grounDd"

Banjo Tuned E, Capo 1, Key of D

[Plowed-Ground]

D G D

My brother, and I were five and ten years old

We were headed for Uncle Grovers for a haircut

D G D

Not to "walk on plowed ground," we were told

A D

But it was much shorter, so we took the shortcut

G D

Spring rains had made the plowed ground like muck

Before you knowed it, little brother and I were stuck

D G D

So scary, we thought we were in quick-sand

A D

Then came Dad, in hip boots, to lend us a hand

G D

He carried us out,

One under each arm

D G D

Said he had heard our mournful shout

A D

Rescued us, saving us from harm

G D

My brother, and I, we cleaned off the mud without a sound,

Looked at each other, and knew

D G D

We would never, ever, again cut across plowed ground.

We would walk to Uncle Grovers,

A D

But not "over plowed-ground"
