Biography:
Alfred Hawthorn Hill (21 January 1924 – 20 April 1992), better known as Benny Hill, was a prolific English comic, actor & singer, best known for his television programme, The Benny Hill Show. Since its debut in 1969 his television show has been sold to over 140 countries worldwide, with viewership in the millions.
The song "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In the West)" is a bit autobiographical. Benny Hill had been a milkman in Eastleigh, Hampshire, working for Hanns Dairy whose premises was yards way from Market Street.

Title: Harvest of Love
Artist: Benny Hill
Chords: C, F, G7
This song can be found on the CD "The World of Benny Hill - Benny Hill
Sings?" which includes 25 of his comedy classics. It also appeared on
an old vinyl recording, "The Golden Hour of Benny Hill."
I [C]rise at six and then I feed the chicks,
And I'm [F]feeling lonesome and [G7]blue,
And when I [C]milk the cow it seems, somehow,
My [F]thoughts keep straying to [G7]you.
And as the [C]horse and I plough the [G7]field nearby,
Your [F]memory I can't e[G7]rase,
For while I [C]walk at the rear of the horse, my dear,
[F]I seem to see your [G7]face.
Chorus
I'm gonna [C]sow the seed of deep devotion, [F]fertilize it with emotion,
[C]Water it with warm desire and then I'll [G7]reap the harvest of [C]love.
Yes, I was [C]happy as a pig in spite of the way that you looked at me,
When I [F]met you at the village [G7]dance,
But [C]you was in the ladies' excuse me at the time,
I [F]thought I would never have a [G7]chance.
But you [C]let me walk you home a[G7]cross Blatt's Meadow,
And I [F]knew that with you I should be a [G7]hit,
'Cause I [C]got an old cow to get up walk away,
So that you'd have [F]somewhere nice and dry to [G7]sit.
Chorus
[C]Side by side we will take a ride,
In my [F]horse and buggy one [G7]day,
And when the [C]daylight ends and the night descends,
And my [F]horse'll run out of [G7]hay,
And I will [C]kiss your lips, those [G7]tempting lips,
The [F]only ones that can [G7]thrill me,
And I would [C]hold you tight 'neath the stars so bright,
If the [F]wife ever finds out she'll [G7]kill me.
Chorus to fade
This is one in a series of Benny Hill songs I've learned by ear. Most of
these songs have only three chords which makes it easy figure them out. I
might have missed some chords or put the wrong ones down, but the basic
structure is there at any rate. I welcome any comments, corrections or
suggestions for improvement.
