[00:01.44] Taxes on the Farmer Feed Them All
[00:04.88] Fiddlin' John Carson
[00:11.75]
[00:11.76] If you'll only look and see I know you will agree
[00:16.06] That the taxes on the farmer feeds us all
[00:24.50]
[00:24.51] The farmer is the man, the farmer is the man
[00:28.42] He buys on a credit until fall
[00:31.95] Then they take him by the hand
[00:33.96] And they lead him from the land
[00:35.78] And the merchant he's the man who gets it all
[00:43.75]
[00:43.76] While the woman uses snuff, and they never get enough
[00:47.95] But the farmer is the man that feeds them all
[00:51.98] While the farmer's black and dirty
[00:53.86] But he works like a turkey
[00:55.99] Got good clothes a-hanging in the hall
[00:59.28] If you'll only look and see I'm sure you will agree
[01:02.92] That the taxes on the farmer feeds us all
[01:10.55]
[01:10.56] The farmer is the man, the farmer is the man
[01:14.14] He buys on a credit until fall
[01:17.73] Then they take him by the hand
[01:19.57] And they lead him through the land
[01:21.42] And the merchant is the man that gets it all
[01:28.66]
[01:28.67] While the judge is on the bench
[01:30.84] He will scratch his head and wink
[01:32.88] But the farmer is the man that feeds them all
[01:36.63] And the lawyer I'll declare
[01:38.59] Will tell a lie and swear
[01:40.26] But the farmer is the man that feeds them all
[01:44.67]
[01:44.68] The farmer is the man, farmer is the man
[01:48.64] He buys on a credit until fall
[01:51.96] Then they take him by the hand
[01:53.93] And they lead him through the land
[01:55.58] And the merchant he's the man who gets it all
[01:59.09] If you'll only look and see I know you will agree
[02:01.10] That the taxes on the farmer feeds them all
[02:10.43]
[02:10.44] While the doctor hangs around
[02:12.10] While the blacksmith works his iron
[02:14.00] But the farmer is the man that feeds them all
[02:17.70] And the preacher and the cook
[02:19.90] They'll go fishing on the brook
[02:21.45] But the farmer is the man that feeds them all
[02:24.98] If you'll only look and see I know you will agree
[02:28.80] That the taxes on the farmer feeds us all
[02:32.85]
[02:32.86] The farmer is the man, the farmer is the man
[02:36.68] He buys on a credit until fall
[02:39.89] Then they take him by the hand
[02:41.84] And they lead him through the land
[02:43.34] And the merchant is the man who gets it all
