The Farmer Is The Man That Feeds Them All - Fiddlin John Carson

If you’ll only look and see I know you will agree

That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all

While the woman uses snuff, and they never get enough

But the farmer is the man that feeds them all

When the farmer come to town with his wagon broken down

The farmer is the man that feeds them all

Farmer is the man, farmer is the man

Buys on a credit until fall

Then they’ll take him by the hand

Then they’ll lead him through the land

Then the merchant he’s the man who gets it all

If you’ll only look and see I know you will agree

That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all

While the judge is on his bench

He will scratch his head and wink

But the farmer is the man that feeds them all

And the lawyer I’ll declare

Will tell a lie and swear

But the farmer is the man that feeds them all

If you’ll only look and see I know you will agree

That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all

Farmer is the man, farmer is the man

Buys on a credit until fall

Then they’ll take him by the hand

Then they’ll lead him through the land

Then the merchant he’s the man that gets it all

Oh the doctor hangs around

While the blacksmith works his iron

But the farmer is the man that feeds them all

And the preacher and the cook

They’ll go strolling on the brook

But the farmer is the man that feeds them all

If you’ll only look and see I know you will agree

That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all

Farmer is the man, farmer is the man

Buys on a credit until fall

Then they’ll take him by the hand

Then they’ll lead him through the land

Then the merchant he’s the man that gets it all
