Lyrics for TAXES ON THE FARMER FEEDS US ALL by Ry Cooder:
| | | Artist: | Ry Cooder |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | TAXES ON THE FARMER FEEDS US ALL | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 53 | | | | Lyrics: | (Traditional, adapted by Ry Cooder)
(D) - (A) - (E)
(A) We worked through Spring and
Winter, through (D) Summer and through (A) Fall
But the mortgage worked the hardest and the (E)
steadiest of us all
It (A) worked on nights and Sundays, it (D) worked each holiday
(E)
Settled down among us and it never went (A) away
The farmer comes to town with his wagon
broken down
The farmer is the man who feeds us all
If you only look and see I know you
will agree
That the farmer is the man who feeds us all
(A) The farmer is the man, the
farmer is the man
He buys on his credit until (E) Fall
Then they (A) take him by the hand
And they (D) lead him from his land
And the (E) merchant is the man who gets it (A) all
The farmer is the man, the farmer is the man
He lives on his credit until Fall
With the interest rates so high
It's a wonder he don't die
But the taxes on the
farmer feeds us all
Well, the banker says he's broke and the merchant stops and smoke
But they forget that it's the farmer that feeds them all
It would put them to the test if
the farmer took a rest
And they'd know that it's the farmer that feeds them all
The
farmer is the man, the farmer is the man
Lives on his credit until Fall
Well, his pants
are wearing thin
His condition, it's a sin
'Cause the taxes on the farmer feeds us all | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
