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