[Levon Helm - Poor Old Dirt Farmer lyrics]
Oh the poor old dirt farmer
He's lost all his corn
And now where's the money to
Pay off his loan?
He lost all his corn, can't pay off his loan
He lost all his corn
Well the poor old dirt farmer
He only grows stone
He grows them on down till
They're big enough to roll
He rolls them on down to the taxman in town
He rolls them on down
Now the poor old dirt farmer
He's left all alone
His wife and his children they
Packed up and gone
Packed up and gone, he's left all alone
They packed up and gone
Well the poor old dirt farmer
How bad he must feel
He fell off his tracker up under the wheel
And now his head, shaped like a tread
But he ain't quite dead
Well the poor old dirt farmer
He can't grow no corn
He can't grow no corn cause
He ain't got a loan
He ain't got a loan, he can't grow no corn
He ain't got no loan
He's lost all his corn
And now where's the money to
Pay off his loan?
He lost all his corn, can't pay off his loan
He lost all his corn
Well the poor old dirt farmer
He only grows stone
He grows them on down till
They're big enough to roll
He rolls them on down to the taxman in town
He rolls them on down
Now the poor old dirt farmer
He's left all alone
His wife and his children they
Packed up and gone
Packed up and gone, he's left all alone
They packed up and gone
Well the poor old dirt farmer
How bad he must feel
He fell off his tracker up under the wheel
And now his head, shaped like a tread
But he ain't quite dead
Well the poor old dirt farmer
He can't grow no corn
He can't grow no corn cause
He ain't got a loan
He ain't got a loan, he can't grow no corn
He ain't got no loan
