- Natalie Merchant - Down On Penny’s Farm Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Come here ladies and gentleman
- Listen to my song
- Play it to you right
- But you may think it wrong
- May make you mad
- But I mean no harm
- It’s just about the renters
- On Penny’s farm
- It’s a hard time in the country
- Down on Penny’s farm
- Go into the fields
- And you work all day
- Deep into the night
- But you get no pay
- Promise you some meat
- Or a little bucket of lard
- It’s hard to make a living
- On Penny’s farm
- It’s a hard time in the country
- Down on Penny’s farm
- Hear George Penny
- He’ll be coming into town
- With a wagon load of peaches
- Not a one of them sound
- Gotta get his money
- Gotta get a check
- Pay you for a bushel
- But you never get a peck
- It’s a hard time in the country
- Down on Penny’s farm
- George Penny’s renters
- They be coming into town
- With their hands in their pockets
- And their heads hanging down
- Go to the merchant
- And the merchant he’ll say,
- “your mortgage it is due
- And I’m looking for my pay”
- It’s a hard time in the country
- Down on Penny’s farm
- Deep into his pocket
- With a trembling hand,
- “can’t pay you what I owe
- But i’ll pay you what I can”
- Down to the merchant
- And the merchant make a call
- Put you on the chain gang
- Don’t pay at all
- It’s a hard time in the country
- Down on Penny’s farm
