Fiddlin' John Carson — The Farmer is the Man That Feeds Them All

[Intro] If you'll only look and see I know you will agree That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all [Verse 1] While the woman uses snuff, and they never get enough But the farmer is the man that feeds them all When the farmer come to town with his wagon broken down The farmer is the man that feeds them all [Chorus] Farmer is the man, farmer is the man Buys on a credit until fall Then they'll take him by the hand Then they'll lead him through the land Then the merchant he's the man who gets it all If you'll only look and see I know you will agree That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all [Verse 2] While the judge is on his bench He will scratch his head and wink But the farmer is the man that feeds them all And the lawyer I'll declare Will tell a lie and swear But the farmer is the man that feeds them all If you'll only look and see I know you will agree That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all [Chorus] Farmer is the man, farmer is the man Buys on a credit until fall Then they'll take him by the hand Then they'll lead him through the land Then the merchant he's the man that gets it all [Verse 3] Oh the doctor hangs around While the blacksmith works his iron But the farmer is the man that feeds them all And the preacher and the cook They'll go strolling on the brook But the farmer is the man that feeds them all If you'll only look and see I know you will agree That the farmer is the man that feeds 'em all [Chorus] Farmer is the man, farmer is the man Buys on a credit until fall Then they'll take him by the hand Then they'll lead him through the land Then the merchant he's the man that gets it all
