DOWN ON THE FARM

Where has the old time farmer gone Who plowed his fields and planted corna Fed his cattle pastured his cows
 went over his fields with horse drawn blows? The farmer who worked from early morn tn oarK' The old time farmer who made his mark His husky sons helped him to hoe Planting, harvesting, digging out ot the snow A hired man sometimes had, But it was family affair when times were bad old Farmer Perkins took his stuff to town, .... His milk and vegetables had won renoWn The family lived entirely of the land,
 What wasn't put down and cured was seasonaly canneo Butter and eggs, cheese and pork,
 Some of these things he sent to New forK He planned against the long cold winter, Cut his wood down to the last splinter, Was a thrifty soul man of the soil, And wasn't afraid to work and toll. Our farmer today is more specialized The same satisfaction is not realized. There's a price ceiling his geese and duck, His farm wagons gone-he's using trucks His barns are bigger, he hires more men, He never hires less than ten. Yep the old time farmer is gone, The modern edition never drawls swan. Nope he hasn't got whiskers like hay, W ~ ~ FEM EM.
