Poor Old Dirt Farmer Lyrics - Dirt Farmer - Levon Helm

(Tracy Schwarz) 

Oh the poor old dirt farmer, 

He's lost lost all his corn 

And now where's the money 

To pay off his loan? 

He lost all his corn 

Cant pay off his loan 

He lost all his corn. 

Well the poor old dirt farmer, 

He only grows stones. 

He grows then on down 

Till they big enough to roll. 

He rolls them on down 

To the tax man in town. 

Ya, he rolls them on down 

Now the poor old dirt farmer 

He's left all alone. 

His wife and his children 

They've packed up and gone. 

Packed up and gone 

He's left all alone 

They've packed up and gone 

Well the poor old dirt farmer 

How bad he must feel. 

He fell off his tractor 

Up under the wheel. 

And now his head 

Is shaped like a tread 

But he aint quite dead. 

Well the poor old dirt farmer 

He cant grow no corn. 

He cant grow no corn 

Cause he aint got a loan. 

He aint got no loan 

Cant grow no corn 

He aint got no loan
