Straw Hat And Old Dirty Hank Lyrics - Rock Spectacle (live) - Barenaked Ladies

I tend the wheat field that makes your bread 

I bind the sweet veal, pluck the hens that make your bed 

Mother Nature, and Mother Earth 

Are two of three women who dictate what I'm worth 

I'm the farmer 

I work in the fields all day 

Don't mean to alarm her 

But I know it was meant to be this way 

You cried a tear, I wiped it dry 

I put you up upon a pedestal so high 

If you should waver, If you should sway 

I'd catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away 

You signed your picture with an O and X 

I bet you don't write "love" each time you sign your cheques

I'm the farmer 

I work in the fields all day 

Don't mean to alarm her 

But I know it was meant to be this way 

All of this corn I grow, I grow it all for you 

I took a hatchet to the radio, I did it all for you 

You could have written back, and you could have said "Thank You" 

But I guess you've got better things 

Better things to do 

You say you love me, is that the truth? 

Although they've heard the songs my friends need living proof 

I know your address, I ring the bell 

I bring you flowers and a .22 with shells

I'm the farmer 

I work in the fields all day 

Never wanted to harm her 

But I know it was meant to be this way
