Straw Hat & Ol' Dirty Hank Lyrics - 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 & mother earth 

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

Chorus: 

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.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You cried a tear, I wiped it dry 

I put you up upon a pedestal so high 

If you should waiver, 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. 

Chorus 

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, 

You could have said "thank you" 

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 want 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.
