Good Evening.
THE HIRED MAN
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

of the Back to the Farm Movemen In days of old on our farms Routine at daybreak began; And much of the life centered about The tried and true hired man. He was the handy man about the place All the whole year round, Did this, that and the other thing, More loyal soul was never found. He joined the family at table, Was part of the family life, Knew how to mow, thresh and milk, On the grindstone could whet knife. Summer evenings under the trees Sometimes he would start to whittle, Talk and whttle, whittle and talk To all the children when little. When summer time came round And the extra farm help was hired, The hired man was king of the felds Of work he never grew tired. He drove the blackboard in to town Or went to the dairy with the milk, He'd even shop at the general store For nails or spool of silk. Yes indeed we recall him very well, How neatly he could plant row, most important factor on the farm, The hired man we used to know.
