Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank
I tend the wheat field that makes your bread
I bind the sweet veal, pluck the hens that make your bed
Mother Nature 7 Mother Earth
are two of the three women who dictate what I'm worth
I'm the farmer
I work in the fields all day
Don't mean to alarm her
but I know it was meant to be this way
You cried a tear, I wiped it dry
I put you up upon a pedestal so high
If you cshould waver, if you should sway
I'd catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away
YOu signed your picture with an O and X
I bet you don't write "love" each time you sign your checks
I'm the farmer
I work in the fields all day
Don't mean to alarm her
but I know it was meant to be this way
All of this corn I grow I grow it all for you
I took a hatchet to the radio I did it all for you
You could have written back,
You could have said "thank you"
I guess you've got better thing,
Better things to do
You say you love me, is that the truth?
Although they'ver heard the songs, my friends want living proof
I know you address, I ring the bell
I bring you flowers and a .22 with shells
I'm the farmer
I work in the fields all day
Never wanted to harm her
but I know it was meant to be this way (3x)
