Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD ACACEBEB FBGBHIHI| My neighbour has a field of wheat | A |
| And I a rood of vine | B |
| And he will give me bread to eat | A |
| And I will give him wine | B |
| And so we are a jolly pair | C |
| Contentedly unwed | D |
| Singing with supper as we share | C |
| Red wine and crusty bread | D |
| - | |
| Now venison is mighty meat | A |
| And so is trout and hare | C |
| A mallard duck is sweat to eat | A |
| And quail is dainty fare | C |
| But such are foods for festal day | E |
| And we will not repine | B |
| While on the table we can lay | E |
| Crisp bread and rosy wine | B |
| - | |
| A will to till one's own of soil | F |
| Is worth a kingly crown | B |
| With bread to feed the belly need | G |
| And wine to wash it down | B |
| So with my neighbour I rejoice | H |
| That we are fit and free | I |
| Content to praise with lusty voice | H |
| Bread Wine and Liberty | I |
