about

This song tells the story of a young man who is sick of a mundane life working the plough, dreaming of victory, riches and renown. The glamour of enlisting in the army, usually followed by swift disillusionment is a common theme in folk songs.

We wanted to include the Jolly Ploughboy in our project as it gives a nod to the prosaic nature of agricultural life, of not just the reality of hard work but the repetition in working the land. We rearranged the melody to give it a darker, more bluesy atmosphere.
