|
When the farmer comes to town with his wagon broken down |
|
The farmer is the man that feeds 'em all |
|
If you'll only look an' see, I think you will agree |
|
That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all |
|
The farmer is the man |
|
The farmer is the man |
|
Lives on credit 'til the fall |
|
Then they take him by the hand |
|
And they lead him from the land |
|
And the middle man's the one that gets it all |
|
When the lawyer hangs around, and the butcher cuts a pound |
|
The farmer is the man that feeds 'em all |
|
And the preacher and the cook, they go strollin' by the brook |
|
But the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all |
|
The farmer is the man |
|
The farmer is the man |
|
Lives on credit 'til the fall |
|
With the interest rates so high |
|
It's a wonder he don't die |
|
For the mortgage man's the one that gets it all |
|
When the banker says he's broke, and the merchant's up in smoke |
|
They forgets that it's the farmer feeds 'em all |
|
It would put them to the test, if the farmer took a rest |
|
Then they'd know that it's the farmer feeds 'em all |
|
Well the farmer is the man |
|
The farmer is the man |
|
Lives on credit 'til the fall |
|
And his pants are wearin' thin |
|
His condition it's a sin |
|
He's forgot that he's the man that feeds 'em all |
