Farmer’s Blues

[Marty]
Who'll buy my wheat, who’ll buy my corn
To feed my babies when they're born
Seeds and dirt, a prayer for rain, that I can use
I work the land, I watch the sky
I talk to God and wonder why
But it's the only life I’ve known, these farmer's blues

I see the seasons come and go
Sendin' rain, fire and snow
I'm at the mercy, of it all, this life I choose
Sometimes I hang my head and cry
When that evenin' train goes by
Wish it could take me far away, these farmer's blues

[Merle]
The tractor's old, the fence is down
Put on my suit and go to town
Ask for a loan, that I know well, they might refuse
Back at home, still by my side
The one I love, with worried eyes
Waits for me, to love away, these farmer's blues

[Both]
I see the seasons come and go
Sending rain, fire and snow

[Merle]
I’m at the mercy, of it all, this life I choose

[Marty]
Sometimes I hang my head and cry
As that evenin’ train goes by
Wish it could take me far away, these farmer's blues
