Harvest of Love

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Harvest of Love" is a short comic song, written and originally performed by Benny Hill. The song was a British chart hit in 1963 and has appeared on several compilations as well as being covered by The Wurzels.

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 are accompanied by a chorus of farmyard impressions, and include 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."

At the end of the song it turns out that the narrator is already married.
