THE FARMER Marvin Srnith The farmer h a very good man He hoes the garden and tills the land, There isn't much he doesn't learn That is of natures own concern. He works long hours and gets small pay He plows the fields and mows the hay, He rides the plow the whole day long And going home he sings a song.
