â??Hey farmer, hey farmer!
Is Little Rock nearby?
I got some business down in Little Rock
Got to be there by and by.�
â??Ain't no little rocks 'round here
I got boulders comin' out my ears.�
Well, that's the crazy, crazy mind of the farmer.
â??Hey farmer, hey farmer!
How'd your â??tater crop turn out?
Did they turn out big and dirty
In plentiful amounts?�
â??Why, they didn't turn out at all
Sal and I had to dig'em out one and all.�
That's the crazy, crazy mind of the farmer.
â??Hey farmer, hey farmer!
You know, your roof leaks like a sieve.
If you got some time to give to mending
Well, now's the time to give.�
â??What the deuce are you about?
Why, can't you see it's raining out?
You must think that I'm a fool of a farmer.�
â??Hey farmer, hey farmer!
I need to know the reason why
If you won't fix it when it's raining
Why don't you fix it when it's dry?�
â??Why, you're a bigger fool, my friend,
My roof would not be leaking then.�
And that's the crazy, crazy mind of the farmer.
â??Hey farmer, hey farmer!
I'll be on my way again,
But when I'm passing by next Friday
I'll probably drop in.�
â??Just keep passin' by, my friend,
And when you reach the lake, why, then drop in!�
That's the crazy, crazy mind of the farmer.
