[00:00.68]When the farmer comes to town
[00:02.57]With his wagon broken down
[00:04.21]
[00:04.94]The farmer is the man that feeds 'em all
[00:07.53]
[00:08.58]If you'll only look an' see
[00:10.76]I think you will agree
[00:12.58]That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all
[00:15.38]
[00:16.51]The farmer is the man
[00:18.63]The farmer is the man
[00:20.26]
[00:20.83]Lives on credit 'til the fall
[00:23.54]
[00:24.52]Then they take him by the hand
[00:26.54]And they lead him from the land
[00:28.58]And the middle man's the one that gets it all
[00:31.44]
[00:32.69]When the lawyer hangs around
[00:34.03]
[00:34.65]And the butcher cuts a pound
[00:36.62]The farmer is the man that feeds 'em all
[00:39.42]
[00:40.67]And the preacher and the cook
[00:42.61]They go strollin' by the brook
[00:44.68]But the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all
[00:47.84]
[00:48.85]The farmer is the man
[00:51.10]The farmer is the man
[00:53.08]Lives on credit 'til the fall
[00:55.67]
[00:56.87]With the interest rates so high
[00:58.73]It's a wonder he don't die
[01:00.73]For the mortgage man's the one that gets it all
[01:03.46]
[01:05.71]When the banker says he's broke
[01:07.55]And the merchant's up in smoke
[01:09.68]They forgets that it's the farmer feeds 'em all
[01:12.92]
[01:13.81]It would put them to the test
[01:15.73]If the farmer took a rest
[01:17.82]Then they'd know that
[01:18.78]It's the farmer feeds 'em all
[01:20.76]
[01:21.98]Well the farmer is the man
[01:24.35]The farmer is the man
[01:26.55]Lives on credit 'til the fall
[01:29.08]
[01:30.30]And his pants are wearin' thin
[01:32.65]His condition it's a sin
[01:34.69]He's forgot that
[01:36.00]He's the man that feeds 'em all
