Farmer's Lament - Cisco Houston/Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

I've pruned all the apples[00:00:03]

And hauled brush away[00:00:04]

Manured the currants[00:00:06]

And seeded the hay[00:00:08]

Spring work is over[00:00:10]

And summer has come[00:00:11]

I sure hope this season[00:00:13]

Is better than some[00:00:14]

It's hard hard on my hard working farm[00:00:16]

The apples are setting[00:00:22]

So mix up a spray[00:00:23]

Before the curricular[00:00:25]

Carts them away[00:00:27]

The scab and the cotton moth[00:00:28]

Work busily[00:00:30]

They each choose an apple[00:00:31]

And leave one for me[00:00:33]

It's hard hard on my hard working farm[00:00:36]

Boom goes the thunder[00:00:41]

And splash comes the rain[00:00:42]

Fine for the farmer[00:00:43]

The city folks claim[00:00:45]

The orchard is flooded[00:00:47]

The corn's beaten down[00:00:48]

And the roof of the barn[00:00:50]

Is blown halfway to town[00:00:51]

It's hard hard on my hard working farm[00:00:54]

The apples are scabby[00:01:00]

The currents have rot[00:01:01]

There isn't a pestilence[00:01:03]

We haven't got[00:01:05]

The grapes are all mildewed[00:01:06]

The cherries are too[00:01:08]

But I'm too darn busy[00:01:09]

To start feeling blue[00:01:11]

It's hard hard on my hard working farm[00:01:13]

Here comes the buyer[00:01:18]

With tears in his eyes[00:01:20]

Telling so sadly[00:01:21]

His wonderful lies[00:01:23]

He lives in the poorhouse[00:01:25]

He goes almost bare[00:01:26]

The way that we treat him[00:01:28]

It really ain't fair[00:01:29]

It's hard hard on my hard working farm[00:01:31]

He don't make no money[00:01:37]

He can't pay his rent[00:01:38]

His profit's a measly[00:01:40]

400 per cent[00:01:41]

He's really an angel[00:01:43]

He's misunderstood[00:01:44]

So give him your shirt boys[00:01:46]

Like good farmers should[00:01:48]

It's hard hard on my hard working farm[00:01:49]

Now harvest is over[00:01:54]

I ain't got a cent[00:01:56]

I'm calloused and sunburned[00:01:57]

My back's badly bent[00:01:59]

I'm just about ruptured[00:02:01]

My feet are so sore[00:02:02]

Sometime I wonder[00:02:04]

Just who I work for[00:02:05]

It's hard hard on my hard working farm[00:02:07]
