《Down on Penny’s Farm》歌词

[00:00:00] Down On Pennys Farm - Natalie Merchant (娜坦莉·莫森特)

[00:00:23] Come here ladies and gentleman

[00:00:24] Listen to my song

[00:00:25] Play it to you right

[00:00:26] But you may think it wrong

[00:00:27] May make you mad

[00:00:28] But I mean no harm

[00:00:29] Just about the renters

[00:00:30] On Pennys farm

[00:00:31] It's a hard time in the country

[00:00:33] Down on Pennys farm

[00:00:48] Go into the fields

[00:00:49] And you work all day

[00:00:50] Deep into the night

[00:00:51] But you get no pay

[00:00:52] Promise you some meat

[00:00:53] Or a little bucket of lard

[00:00:54] It's hard to make a living

[00:00:55] On Pennys farm

[00:00:56] It's a hard time in the country

[00:00:58] Down on Pennys farm

[00:01:13] Hear George Penny

[00:01:13] Hell be coming into town

[00:01:14] With a wagon load of peaches

[00:01:15] Not a one of them sound

[00:01:16] Gotta get his money only

[00:01:18] Gotta get a check

[00:01:19] Pay you for a bushel

[00:01:20] But you never get a peck

[00:01:21] It's a hard time in the country

[00:01:23] Down on Pennys farm

[00:01:37] George Pennys renters

[00:01:38] They be coming into town

[00:01:39] With their hands in their pockets

[00:01:40] And their heads hanging down

[00:01:41] Go to the merchant

[00:01:42] And the merchant hell say

[00:01:43] Your mortgage it is due

[00:01:44] And Im looking for my pay

[00:01:45] Its a hard time in the country

[00:01:47] Down on Pennys farm

[00:02:02] Deep into his pocket

[00:02:02] With a trembling hand

[00:02:03] Can't pay you what I owe

[00:02:04] But ill pay you what I can

[00:02:06] Down to the merchant

[00:02:06] And the merchant make a call

[00:02:08] Put you on the chain gang

[00:02:09] Don't pay at all

[00:02:10] It's a hard time in the country

[00:02:12] Down on Pennys farm
