1
I've got a spade and a pick-axe
2
And a hundred miles square of land to churn about
3
My old horse is weary but sincerely
4
I believe that he can pull a plough
5
Well I've moved into the jungle of the agriculture rumble,
6
To grow my own food
7
And I'll dig and plough and scrape the weeds
8
Till I succeed in seeing cabbage growing through
9
Now I'm a farmer, and I'm digging, digging, digging, digging, digging
10
Now I'm a farmer, and I'm digging, digging, digging, digging, digging
11
It's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming
12
How calming and balming the effect of the air
13
Well, I farmed for a year and grew a crop of corn
14
That stretched as far as the eye can see
15
That's a whole lot of cornflakes,
16
Near enough to feed New York till 1973
17
Cultivation is my station and the nation
18
Buys my corn from me immediately
19
And holding sixty thousand bucks, I watch as dumper trucks
20
Tip New York's corn flakes in the sea
21
Now I'm a farmer, and I'm digging, digging, digging, digging, digging
22
Now I'm a farmer, and I'm digging, digging, digging, digging, digging
23
It's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming
24
How calming and balming the effect of the air
25
Now look here son
26
The right thing to say
27
Isn't necessarily what you want to say
28
The right thing to do
29
Isn't necessarily what you want to do
30
The right things to grow
31
Ain't necessarily what you want to grow
32
Your own happiness
33
Doesn't necessarily teach you what you want to know
34
Well I'm suntanned and deep, so's the horse
35
And my hands are deeply grained
36
Old horse is a-grazing, it's amazing
37
Just how lazily he took the strain
38
Well my pick and spade are rusty,
39
Because I'm paid on trust to leave my square of cornfield bare
40
It's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming
41
How calming and balming the effect of the air
42
When you grow what I grow
43
Tomatoes, potatoes, stew, eggplants...
44
Potatoes, tomatoes...gourds
