domain.
Farmers til the fertile soil and raise the
golden grain,
And from the hillside In the East as well as
Western plain,
They are now feeding the nations.
CHORUS:
Hurrah! Hurrabl The farmer IS the mani
Hurrahl Hurrahl Deny It If yoUcan,
That in life's great battle here he ever leads
thevan,
For he is feeding the nations.
From the pine-clad hills of Maine to Cali
From the lakes to Mexico, one thousand
miles or more,
Honest farmers willingly the soil keep turning
DER,
strI to be feeding the nations.
CHORUS.
Though the crops one season fail and profits all
ore blue,
Thousands on the earth below would not
know what to do
But the farmer willingly begins his work anew
Still to be feeding the nations.
CHORUS
When the dark days approach and the light Of
hope grows dim,
And the merchants far and near are making
profits slim,
The dependent millions then must put their
trust IN him
Who is still feeding the nations.
CHORUS.
Honest farmers, do not fear the work you have
to do,
But while toiling here below Just keep this
thought in view:
That there is a better life when earthly cares
are through,
And you quit feeding the nations.
