Paul Austin Kelly The Crazy Mind Of The Farmer
“Hey farmer, hey farmer!
Is Little Rock nearby?
I got some business down in Little Rock
Got to be there by and by.â€
“Ain't no little rocks 'round here
I got boulders comin' out my ears.â€
Well, that's the crazy, crazy mind of the farmer.
“Hey farmer, hey farmer!
How'd your ‘tater crop turn out?
Did they turn out big and dirty
In plentiful amounts?â€
“Why, they didn't turn out at all
Sal and I had to dig'em out one and all.â€
That's the crazy, crazy mind of the farmer.
“Hey farmer, hey farmer!
You know, your roof leaks like a sieve.
If you got some time to give to mending
Well, now's the time to give.â€
“What the deuce are you about?
Why, can't you see it's raining out?
You must think that I'm a fool of a farmer.â€
“Hey farmer, hey farmer!
I need to know the reason why
If you won't fix it when it's raining
Why don't you fix it when it's dry?â€
“Why, you're a bigger fool, my friend,
My roof would not be leaking then.â€
And that's the crazy, crazy mind of the farmer.
“Hey farmer, hey farmer!
I'll be on my way again,
But when I'm passing by next Friday
I'll probably drop in.â€
“Just keep passin' by, my friend,
And when you reach the lake, why, then drop in!â€
That's the crazy, crazy mind of the farmer.
