Harvest of Love

About Harvest of Love

"The Harvest Of Love" is a short comedy song, co-written and originally performed by Benny Hill, released on Pye Records (7N.15520). The other writer was shown as "M. Anthony", a pseudonym for the producer, Tony Hatch. The song was a #20 hit in the UK Singles Chart in 1963, and has appeared on several compilation albums as well as being covered by the Wurzels. The Benny Hill version was flipped with another Hill composition, "BAMba 3688". The record also saw a U. S. release on Rust (5079). The song is sung from the point of view of a farmhand who has fallen in love (or at least, lust) with a young lady. Hill's vocals were accompanied by the Kestrels, who instead of singing, provided a vocal back-up of farmyard impressions. The accompaniment was directed by Hatch. The Kestrels at that time were Roger Greenaway, Tony Burrows, Jeff Williams, and Roger Gullane. The lyrics included such lines as: "And as the horse and I plough the field nearby,Your memory I can't erase,For while I walk at the rear of the horse, my dear,I seem to see your face." more »

I rise at six and then I feed the chicks,
And I'm feeling lonesome and blue,

And when I milk the cow it seems, somehow,
My thoughts keep straying to you.

And as the horse and I plough the field nearby,
Your memory I can't erase,

For while I walk at the rear of the horse, my dear,
I seem to see your face.

I'm gonna sow the seed of deep devotion, fertilize it with emotion,
Water it with warm desire and then I'll reap the harvest of love.

Yes, I was happy as a pig in spite of the way that you looked at me,
When I met you at the village dance,
But you was in the ladies' excuse me at the time,
I thought I would never have a chance.
But you let me walk you home across Blatt's Meadow,
And I knew that with you I should be a hit,

'Cause I got an old cow to get up walk away,
So that you'd have somewhere nice and dry to sit.

I'm gonna sow the seed of deep devotion, fertilize it with emotion,
Water it with warm desire and then I'll reap the harvest of love.

Side by side we will take a ride,
In my horse and buggy one day,

And when the daylight ends and the night descends,
And my horse'll run out of hay,

And I will kiss your lips, those tempting lips,
The only ones that can thrill me,

And I would hold you tight 'neath the stars so bright,
If the wife ever finds out she'll kill me.

I'm gonna sow the seed of deep devotion, fertilize it with emotion,
Water it with warm desire and then I'll reap the harvest of love.
