Down On Pennys Farm - Natalie Merchant (娜坦莉·莫森特)[00:00:00]
Come here ladies and gentleman[00:00:23]
Listen to my song[00:00:24]
Play it to you right[00:00:25]
But you may think it wrong[00:00:26]
May make you mad[00:00:27]
But I mean no harm[00:00:28]
Just about the renters[00:00:29]
On Pennys farm[00:00:30]
It's a hard time in the country[00:00:31]
Down on Pennys farm[00:00:33]
Go into the fields[00:00:48]
And you work all day[00:00:49]
Deep into the night[00:00:50]
But you get no pay[00:00:51]
Promise you some meat[00:00:52]
Or a little bucket of lard[00:00:53]
It's hard to make a living[00:00:54]
On Pennys farm[00:00:55]
It's a hard time in the country[00:00:56]
Down on Pennys farm[00:00:58]
Hear George Penny[00:01:13]
Hell be coming into town[00:01:13]
With a wagon load of peaches[00:01:14]
Not a one of them sound[00:01:15]
Gotta get his money only[00:01:16]
Gotta get a check[00:01:18]
Pay you for a bushel[00:01:19]
But you never get a peck[00:01:20]
It's a hard time in the country[00:01:21]
Down on Pennys farm[00:01:23]
George Pennys renters[00:01:37]
They be coming into town[00:01:38]
With their hands in their pockets[00:01:39]
And their heads hanging down[00:01:40]
Go to the merchant[00:01:41]
And the merchant hell say [00:01:42]
Your mortgage it is due[00:01:43]
And Im looking for my pay[00:01:44]
Its a hard time in the country[00:01:45]
Down on Pennys farm[00:01:47]
Deep into his pocket[00:02:02]
With a trembling hand [00:02:02]
Can't pay you what I owe[00:02:03]
But ill pay you what I can[00:02:04]
Down to the merchant[00:02:06]
And the merchant make a call[00:02:06]
Put you on the chain gang[00:02:08]
Don't pay at all[00:02:09]
It's a hard time in the country[00:02:10]
Down on Pennys farm[00:02:12]
