Farmer's Almanac Lyrics - Boom Chicka Boom - Johnny Cash

Well, the farmer prayed for a better year 

And the crops were good like the Lord did hear 

But his barn burned down with winter near 

The answer came in white and black 

In the farmer's almanac, it says 

"If a man could have half his wishes he could double his trouble" 

A sweet old lady was eighty-four 

When her kinfolks came for a month or more 

Now from overwork she's on the other shore 

Much too late was y'all come back 

And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says 

"Visitors and fish smell after three days"

Our leader was a silver tongued man 

He deceived the people of the land 

And when he got caught he couldn't stand 

It's a little off-beat and a little off-track 

But it says in the farmer's almanac, it says 

"In rivers and bad government the lightest things flow to the top" 

Rod said, "I don't believe in God" 

Rod died and lies beneath the sod 

For God did not believe in Rod 

Life is a troubled and a weary track 

But it says in the farmer's almanac, it says 

"Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death" 

The little boy followed the honeybee 

And it flew straight to the honey tree 

He got stung but got the honey free 

Consolation for the things you lack 

Is in the farmer's almanac, it says 

"God gives us the darkness so we can see the stars"

He came home three hours late from work 

Said, "I had a flat and fell in the dirt" 

She said, "You gotten lipstick on your shirt" 

Well it turned out like Jill and Jack 

And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says 

"Lies have to be covered up, truth can run around naked" 

He said, "Honey, you know I'm true 

I just look at other women that's all I do" 

Then she caught him with her best friend Peggy Sue 

Sometimes some women will look back 

And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says 

"There's a lot of difference in window shoppin' and shop liftin'" 

I sat down at a shoeshine stand 

I had a real slow shoeshine man 

I said you don't pop that rag like some of 'em can 

He looked at me and then he sat right back 

It says in the farmer's almanac, it says 

"The trouble with the world today is 

There's too much poppin' and not enough shinin'"
