[The listening experience comes from a section of Violet Austin’s memoir describing her  childhood activities and games. Lyrics to ‘The Farmer’s in his den’ vary, including ‘The Farmer in the Dell’]. 

 

We girls would play the age old singing game “The Farmers in his Den”, ”Poor Jenny sits a-weeping”, ”Here we come gathering nuts in May”.
