Taxes On The Farmer Feeds Us All - Ry Cooder[00:00:00]
We worked through Spring and Winter[00:00:26]
Through Summer and through Fall[00:00:30]
But the mortgage worked the hardest[00:00:33]
And the steadiest of us all[00:00:36]
It worked on nights and Sundays[00:00:39]
It worked each holiday[00:00:42]
Settled down among us[00:00:45]
And it never went away[00:00:48]
The farmer comes to town[00:00:52]
With his wagon broken down[00:00:54]
The farmer is the man who feeds us all[00:00:58]
If you only look and see[00:01:04]
I know you will agree[00:01:07]
That the farmer is the man who feeds us all[00:01:10]
The farmer is the man[00:01:17]
The farmer is the man[00:01:19]
He buys on his credit until Fall[00:01:22]
Then they take him by the hand[00:01:29]
And they lead him from his land[00:01:31]
And the merchant is the man who gets it all[00:01:34]
The farmer is the man[00:02:29]
The farmer is the man[00:02:31]
He lives on his credit until Fall[00:02:35]
With the interest rates so high[00:02:41]
It's a wonder he don't die[00:02:44]
But the taxes on the farmer feeds us all[00:02:46]
Well the banker says he's broke[00:03:00]
And the merchant stops and smoke[00:03:03]
But they forget that it's the farmer[00:03:06]
That feeds them all[00:03:09]
It would put them to the test[00:03:12]
If the farmer took a rest[00:03:15]
And they'd know that it's the farmer[00:03:18]
That feeds them all[00:03:21]
The farmer is the man[00:03:24]
The farmer is the man[00:03:27]
Lives on his credit until Fall[00:03:30]
Well his pants are wearing thin[00:03:36]
His condition it's a sin[00:03:39]
'Cause the taxes on the farmer feeds us all[00:03:42]
