If you'll only look and see
I Know you will agree
That the farmer is the man who feeds them all
Through the wind and through the snow
When the farmer comes to town
With his wagon broken down
The farmer is the man who feeds them all
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
Lives on credit until fall
Then they take him by the hand
And they lead him from the land
And the middleman's the man who gets it all

When the lawyer hangs around
While the butcher cuts a pound
The farmer is the man who feeds them all
And the preacher and the cook
Go a-strolling down the brook
The farmer is the man who feeds them all
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man Lives on credit till the fall
With the interest rate so high
It's a wonder he don't die
The banker is the man who gets it all

When the banker says he's broke
And the merchant's up in smoke
The farmer is the man who feeds them all
It would put them to the test
If the farmer took a rest
The farmer is the man who feeds them all
The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
Lives on credit till the fall
His clothes are wearing thin
His condition is a sin
He's forgot that he's the man who feeds them all Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
