Farmer's Daughter

(album: Stompin' Grounds - 1997)

Sitting in a pea patch picking up paw-paws
Checking out my baby in her short, short overalls
I got a job in the city, but I can't go to work
The boss man says I gotta' wear a shirt
But rules, man, rules, I can't be bothered
'Cause it's enough keeping up with the farmer's daughter

I'm working with the women when I know I shouldn't oughta'
But I gotta' keep my eye on the farmer's daughter

I got a job in the city, but I can't go to work
The boss man says I gotta' wear a shirt
But rules, man, rules, I can't be bothered
'Cause it's enough keeping up with the farmer's daughter

Hey hey hey

But come a' Saturday night, I'm gonna' put her in the car
Take her to a dance at the Lebanon Bar
Sell everybody a jug a' moonwater
Get a' rich and run away with the farmer's daughter

Hey hey hey

Here she comes

Well, we gotta' sneak around when we go out at night
'Cause if her daddy found out, he'd punch out my lights

I got a job in the city, but I can't go to work
The boss man says I gotta' wear a shirt
But rules, man, rules, I can't be bothered
'Cause it's enough keeping up with the farmer's daughter

Yes, it's enough keeping up with the farmer's daughter

Hey hey hey
