WHY DID YOU LEAVE
THE FARM, MY LAD?"

why did you leave the farm, my
Why did you bolt and leave your
dad?
Why did you beat it off to town
And turn your poor old father
down?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit and
press
Are wallowing in deep distress
They seek to know the hidden
cause
Why farmer boys desert their pas.
We'll, stranger. since you've been
SO frank,
I'll roll aside the haZy bank:
left my dad, his farm, his pillow.
Because my calf became his cow.
/ left my dad, twas wrong of course,
Because my colt became his horse.
] left my dad to SOW and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep.
l dropped the hoe and stuck the
fork,
Because my pig became his pork.
The garden truck that l made grow
Was his to sell, but mine to hoe.
Its not the smoke in the atmos-
phere,
Nor the taste for life that brought
me here.
Please tell the platform, pulpit,
press
No fear of toll nor love of dress
Is driving off the farmer lads,
It's just the methods of their dads
