When the farmer comes to town
With his wagon broken down
The farmer is the man
Who feeds us all
If we'd only look and see
Well, I think that we'd agree
The farmer is the man
Who feeds us all
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
Lives on credit till the fall
They take him by the hand
And they lead him from the land
And the middleman's the
One who gets it all
When the lawyer stands around
While the butcher cuts a pound
They forget that it's the farmer
Feeds 'em all
And the preacher and the cook
Go a-strolling by the brook
They forget that it's the farmer
Feeds 'em all
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
Lives on credit till the fall
With the interest rate so high
It's a wonder he don't die
And the middleman's the
One who gets it all
When the banker says he broke
And the merchant's up in smoke
They forget that it's the
Farmer feeds 'em all
If he'd only take a rest
It would put 'em to the test
'Cause the farmer is the man who
Feeds 'em all
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
Lives on credit till the fall
His condition, it's a sin
'Cause his pants are gettin' thin
We forget that he's the
One who feeds us all
