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