County Farm Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

Working in the red hot sun paying for the wrong I done 

Work's so hard here at the County farm 

My calloused hands that hold the fork pitchin' hay until it's dark 

Boy the work is hard here at the County farm 

The County farm stretches the summer days so long 

Makes me wish I'd never left my country home 

Paying for the wrong I done I never meant to harm no one 

Boy the work is hard here at the County farm 

They told me that they'd show me how to cut his hay and use the plow 

I've learnt a lot here at the County farm 

I work the fields from sun till sun paying for the wrong I done 

Boy the work is hard here at the County farm 

The County farm stretches... 

I hope my poor old mom and dad don't find out how their boy went bad 

Workin' out my sentence on the County farm 

My mama's kind and gentle heart and daddy too they tried so hard 

To raise me for I'd never work on the County farm 

The County farm stretches... 

A workin' out my sentence on the County farm
