In Canada to try the fates | A |
He settled down in Dereham | B |
Then no dairyman lived near him | B |
He was the first there to squeeze | C |
His cows milk into good cheese | C |
And at each Provincial Show | D |
His famed cheese was all the go | D |
- | |
CHORUS | E |
Then long life to Father Ranney | F |
May he wealth and honor gain aye | G |
- | |
He always took the first prize | H |
Both for quality and size | H |
But many of his neighbors | I |
Now profit by his labors | I |
And the ladies dress in silk | J |
From the proceeds of the milk | J |
But those who buy their butter | K |
' How dear it is ' they mutter | K |
- | |
CHORUS | E |
Then long life to Father Ranney | F |
May he his health retain aye | G |
- | |
Farmers now can not be beat | L |
With their cheese and their wheat | L |
Though now their greatest care is | M |
For to watch o'er their dairies | C |
They carefully fill their mows | N |
With provender for their cows | N |
And they thus enrich the soil | O |
With much profit for their toil | O |
- | |
CHORUS | E |
We will sing this refrain aye | G |
Long life to Father Ranney | F |
- | |
The motto 'Union is Strength ' | - |
Is carried out at length | P |
In the most compact array | Q |
At every cheese factory | F |
You'll see without going as far as | R |
There is one kept by Harris | S |
The factory of Ingersoll | T |
Just out at the first toll | U |
- | |
CHORUS | E |
May he never suffer pain aye | G |
The father of cheesemen Ranney | F |
Or you may go all the way | Q |
To see one kept by Galloway | Q |
And out in the Norwiches | E |
Dairymen are making riches | E |
And honor has been won | V |
By Harvey Farrington | V |
The same path is trodden | V |
By folks about Culloden | V |
- | |
CHORUS | E |
May his strength never wane aye | G |
The great dairyman Ranney | V |
And of late we saw some | B |
Very good cheese from Lawson | V |
All around Mount Elgin | V |
Dairymen have well done | V |
And out in East Nissouri | F |
They make some scores a day | Q |
From Jarvis and Elliott | W |
Some good cheese is bought | X |
- | |
CHORUS | E |
And we will all remain aye | G |
Indebted to Father Ranney | V |
Now we close this glorious theme | B |
This song of curds and rich cream | B |
Subject worthy of our muse | E |
You can buy your hoops and screws | E |
Boxes and vats all things like these | E |
In Ingersoll great mart for cheese | E |
Here buyers all do congregate | Y |
And pay for cheese the highest rate | Y |
- | |
CHORUS | E |
So we call on you again aye | G |
To honor Father Ranney | V |
