Down On Penny's Farm - Bentley Boys[00:00:00]
Written by:Traditional[00:00:00]
Come you ladies and you gentlemen and listen to my song[00:00:08]
Sing it to you right but you might think it's wrong[00:00:11]
May make you mad but I mean no harm[00:00:14]
It's just about the renters on penny's farm[00:00:16]
It's hard times in the country[00:00:19]
Out on penny's farm[00:00:22]
You move out on Penny's farm[00:00:24]
Plant a little crop of 'bacco and a little crop of corn[00:00:27]
Come around to see you gonna flit and plot[00:00:29]
Till he gets himself a mortgage[00:00:31]
On everything you got[00:00:33]
It's hard times in the country[00:00:34]
Out on Penny's farm[00:00:37]
Hasn't George Penny got a flattering mouth[00:00:53]
Move you to the country in a little log house[00:00:55]
Got nothing it but the cracks in the wall[00:00:58]
He'll work you in the summer and rob you in the fall[00:01:00]
It's hard times in the country[00:01:03]
Out on Penny's farm[00:01:05]
You go in the fields and you work all day[00:01:07]
Way after night but you get no pay[00:01:10]
Promise you meat or a little lard[00:01:12]
It's hard to be a renter on Penny's farm[00:01:15]
It's hard times in the country[00:01:17]
Out on Penny's farm[00:01:20]
Where's George Penny he'll come into town[00:01:36]
With his wagon load of peaches not one of them is sound[00:01:38]
He's got to have his money or somebody's check[00:01:40]
You pay him for a bushel and you don't get a peck[00:01:42]
It's hard times in the country[00:01:45]
Out on Penny's farm[00:01:47]
Where George Penny's renters they'll come into town[00:01:49]
With their hands in their pockets and their head a hanging down[00:01:52]
Go in the store and the merchant will say[00:01:54]
Your mortgage is due and I'm looking for my pay[00:01:56]
It's hard times in the country[00:01:59]
Out on Penny's farm[00:02:01]
Down in his pocket with a trembling hand[00:02:17]
Can't pay you all but I'll pay you what I can[00:02:19]
Then to the telephone the merchant make a call[00:02:21]
Put you on the chain gang don't pay it all[00:02:24]
It's hard times in the country[00:02:26]
Out on Penny's farm[00:02:28]
