Chorus:
PoJ farmer, po5 farmer, po? farmer, Dey git all de farmer make. |
||
|
1 I saw a humble farmer, His back was bended low, He came from pickin' cotton, From off de bottom boll. |
||
|
2 Up steps de merchant Wid a high-top derby on:
"Pay me, pay me, Mister Farmer, For you to me belong."
3 Up sailed another merchant With horses an' buggies fine: "Pay me, pay me, Mister Farmer, For your corn is shorely mine." |
