The Farmer Is The Man

G
When the farmer comes to town with 
his wagon broken down
    C              D              
The farmer is the man that feeds 
    G
'em all
G
If you'll only look an' see, I think
 you will agree
       C                 D    
That the farmer is the man that 
             G
feeds 'em all

G
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
                         D
Lives on credit 'til the fall
          G
Then they take him by the hand
And they lead him from the land
        D                C        
And the middle man's the one that 
        G
gets it all


Continues after the ad
G
When the lawyer hangs around, and 
the butcher cuts a pound
     C             D              
The farmer is the man that feeds 
   G
'em all
G
And the preacher and the cook, they 
go strollin' by the brook
        C             D           
But the farmer is the man that 
       G
feeds 'em all

G
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
                         D
Lives on credit 'til the fall
G
With the interest rates so high
It's a wonder he don't die
         C                  D     
For the mortgage man's the one 
          G
that gets it all

G
When the banker says he's broke, and
 the merchant's up in smoke
         C                 D      
They forget that it's the farmer 
         G
who feeds 'em all
G
It would put them to the test, if 
the farmer took a rest
             C                  D 
Then they'd know that he's the man
                G
 who feeds 'em all

G
Well the farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
                         D
Lives on credit 'til the fall
G
And his pants are wearin' thin
His condition it's a sin
         C                D       
He's forgot that he's the man that
           G
 feeds 'em all
