《Farmer’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Farmer's Lament - Cisco Houston/Woody Guthrie

[00:00:03] I've pruned all the apples

[00:00:04] And hauled brush away

[00:00:06] Manured the currants

[00:00:08] And seeded the hay

[00:00:10] Spring work is over

[00:00:11] And summer has come

[00:00:13] I sure hope this season

[00:00:14] Is better than some

[00:00:16] It's hard hard on my hard working farm

[00:00:22] The apples are setting

[00:00:23] So mix up a spray

[00:00:25] Before the curricular

[00:00:27] Carts them away

[00:00:28] The scab and the cotton moth

[00:00:30] Work busily

[00:00:31] They each choose an apple

[00:00:33] And leave one for me

[00:00:36] It's hard hard on my hard working farm

[00:00:41] Boom goes the thunder

[00:00:42] And splash comes the rain

[00:00:43] Fine for the farmer

[00:00:45] The city folks claim

[00:00:47] The orchard is flooded

[00:00:48] The corn's beaten down

[00:00:50] And the roof of the barn

[00:00:51] Is blown halfway to town

[00:00:54] It's hard hard on my hard working farm

[00:01:00] The apples are scabby

[00:01:01] The currents have rot

[00:01:03] There isn't a pestilence

[00:01:05] We haven't got

[00:01:06] The grapes are all mildewed

[00:01:08] The cherries are too

[00:01:09] But I'm too darn busy

[00:01:11] To start feeling blue

[00:01:13] It's hard hard on my hard working farm

[00:01:18] Here comes the buyer

[00:01:20] With tears in his eyes

[00:01:21] Telling so sadly

[00:01:23] His wonderful lies

[00:01:25] He lives in the poorhouse

[00:01:26] He goes almost bare

[00:01:28] The way that we treat him

[00:01:29] It really ain't fair

[00:01:31] It's hard hard on my hard working farm

[00:01:37] He don't make no money

[00:01:38] He can't pay his rent

[00:01:40] His profit's a measly

[00:01:41] 400 per cent

[00:01:43] He's really an angel

[00:01:44] He's misunderstood

[00:01:46] So give him your shirt boys

[00:01:48] Like good farmers should

[00:01:49] It's hard hard on my hard working farm

[00:01:54] Now harvest is over

[00:01:56] I ain't got a cent

[00:01:57] I'm calloused and sunburned

[00:01:59] My back's badly bent

[00:02:01] I'm just about ruptured

[00:02:02] My feet are so sore

[00:02:04] Sometime I wonder

[00:02:05] Just who I work for

[00:02:07] It's hard hard on my hard working farm
