Born out of mind Back in 1895 In those first few years Watched the fields come alive I was pushed and I was pulled The plates were kept full Dust reached the sky Worked hard but it was good I remember the floods Of 1904 The drought of '02 Took even more Watched our work drift away There was nothing we could say Cause when the weather decides She always has it's way I'm just an old mouldboard, Cut from cast iron ore Never once a broken share Now the years have gone by Proud I worked where I lie I was always handled with care More good years than bad All the harvests we had My parts have worn down Like my old friend in plaid Now you sit old and tired Your pipe leaf's a-fired You shoot a glance my way So, I guess we've retired You see me on this bank I'm old and broken down Once built like a tank On the outskirts of town Half the field is now muddy Weed choked and bumpy When it rains, I weep Tears of rust, red and bloody I'm just an old mouldboard, Cut from cast iron ore Never once a broken share Now the years have gone by Proud I worked where I lie I was always handled with care My friend is dead and gone Heard the sad sad song Sung when he was buried In the dim light at dawn Empty years passed by In the blink of an eye Rusted and alone Under cold winter skies I'm just an old mouldboard, Cut from cast iron ore Never once a broken share Now the years have gone by Proud I worked where I lie I was always handled with care I was always handled with care
