Whole Lot of Love

(Tom T. Hall)



We live on a farm in Tennessee

Like old McDonald's was

We have all the things that a farm should have

And a whole lot of love.



We have a brace of ducks and a clutch of chicks

Cry of hounds and the candle of kits

Enough of frogs and as it gets dark

And an exaltation of larks.



We live on a farm in Tennessee

Like old McDonald's was

We have all the things that a farm should have

And a whole lot of love.



We have a drove of cattle and a grist of bees

A colony of ants and a gaggle of geese

A school of fish and a murder of crows

And a great big tribe of goats.



We live on a farm in Tennessee

Like old McDonald's was

We have all the things that a farm should have

And a whole lot of love.



We have a skulk of foxes and a sleuth of bears

A set of crane and a hust of hares

A herd of horses and a spring of teal

And a watch of nightingales.



We live on a farm in Tennessee

Like old McDonald's was

We have all the things that a farm should have

And a whole lot of love.



We have the sun of mornings and the moon of nights

And a fieldbed of hold me tights

It rains but not too much

We got a whole lot of love...
