Who'll buy my wheat?
Who'll buy my corn?
To feed my babies when they are 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 know these farmer's blues
I see the seasons come and go
Sending 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 evening train comes by
I wish it could take me far away
These farmer's blues
The tractor's old
The fence is down
Put on my suit and go to town
I ask for a loan and I know well they might refuse
Back at home
Still by my side
The one I love is where it hides
Waits for me to love away these farmer's blues
I see the seasons come and go
Sending 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 evening train comes by
I wish it could take me far away
These farmer's blues
Ho, ley...
