On [G] a [Dm] wagon bound [Gm] for [D] market, [Gm] there's a calf [D] with a [A] mournful [B]
[D] eye.
High above him there's a swallow, winging [Gm] swiftly [A] through the [D] [C] sky.
How the wills [F] are laughing, [C] they laugh with [F] all their might.
[C] Laugh and laugh [D] the whole day through, [G] and have [A] the [Dm] summer's night.

[Gm] Stop complaining, [Dm] said [Gm] the [Dm] farmer, who [G] told you [A] a hunk half to be.
[Dm] Why [Gm] don't you [D] have [G] wings to fly [D] away, [G] like the swallow so [A] proud [D] and free?
[C] How the wills [F] are laughing, [C] they laugh with all [F] their might.

Laugh and laugh [G] the whole [Dm] day through, and have [A] the [Dm] summer's night.

Calfs [G] are [D] easily bound [Gm] and [D] slaughtered, [Gm] never knowing [D] the reason [A] [D] why.
But [Gm] whoever [D] [G] treasures [D] freedom, like [Gm] the swallow [A] has [D] learned to fly.
[C] How the winds [F] are laughing, [G] they laugh with [F]
all their might.
[C] Laugh and laugh [G] the whole [Dm] day through, and [A] have the summer's [Dm] night.
