Take Your Hat Off to the Farmer

I had seen some better days
Pitchin' all them bales of hay
Tobacco fields just almost did me in
But i got some news for you
About the farmer and his blues
There are no better people
Livin' in this world today
I once thought about college
And to live a better way
But a year and i was back out on the farm
Fertilizer from the stables
Fresh laid eggs are on the table
I'm happy and i know
That i'm better off today
Take your hat off to the farmer
He will be there everyday
To help us through this world
Of sophisticated ways
Sweat and muscle do the labor
Rain and sunshine from the Saviour
To help his fellow man
Will wash away the pain
So listen to his needs
Won't you lend a helping hand
Don't ever take for granted
This proud and able man
The farmer is the lifeline
Of this great and mighty land
But only those who know him
Are those who understand
Take your hat off to the farmer
He will be there everyday
To help us through this world
Of sophisticated ways
Sweat and muscle do the labor
Rain and sunshine from the Saviour
To help his fellow man
Will wash away the pain
Yes to help his fellow man
Will wash away all the pain
