Who'll buy my whAeat, who'll buy my corn?
To feed my baDbies when they are bAorn
Seeds and dirt, a prayer for rain that I can Euse.

But it's the F#monly life I kEnow, these farmer's blAues.

Sending raDin, fire, and snAow.
I'm at the mercy of it all, this life I chEoose.

The Atractor's old, the fence is down
Put on my sDuit and go to town.

Back at hoAme, still by my side
The one I lovDe, with worried eyAes
Waits for F#mme to love aEway, these farmer's bAlues.
