man,
How sweet those ten years lei to
Back there behind the plOw
When from desk troubles 1 was free,
Although l didn't know!
They were the best years Of my
life
Despite each tough, long chore-
And l can realize it in
The White House more and more.
The furrow that l plowed was
straight
And now l know just why:
Nobody looked for miracles
From just a country guy;
No one threw obstacles ahead
Or tried to grab the plow-
Nobody beloved free advice
Or yelled, "I'n show va howl"
To chinch bug, cutworm, weevil
wild
Apologies l make;
Compared to folks in Washington
You gave a man a break;
And, oh, to know again a job .
An older man and wiser
When all my problems could be
solved
BY using fertilizer.
