Acres and Acres of Land

I am the Lord of the manor I always have servants at hand I own a big house in the country And acres and acres of land I have tenants that live in the village Though their cottages may not be grand They pay rent to me because as you see I own acres and acres of land When I visit my people Their respect I always demand They all bow to me that's what I like to see Because I own acres and acres of land Many times I have climbed up my tower The vista before me I've scanned I cant help but smile because mile after mile I own acres and acres of land I was born to a wealthy family My path to the top was well planned It is a real boon that silver spoon And acres and acres of land Yes I was born into riches My tenants say I should be damned But I don't really care because out there I own acres and acres of land
