The Farmer is the Man That Feeds Them All.
You may talk of all the nobles of the earth,-
Of the men who hold the nation in a thrall.
For in this we'll all agree,
If you'll only look and see,
The farmer is the man that feeds them all.
Chorus.
Then take him by the hand
All you people of the land.
Stand by him whatever trouble may befall.
For in this we'll all agree,
If you'll only look and see,
The farmer is the man that feeds them all.
Theres the preacher who can preach his sermons long,
And the ditcher who can drink his coffee strong.
There's the lady and the snuff
Who can never get enough,
But the farmer is the man that makes the stuff.
There's the peddler who can pack his loadaround,
And the drunkard who can drink his liquor down.
There's the baker and the cook
For I tell you now to look-
That the farmer is the man that feeds them all.
There's the judge who pleads behind the bar
And the lawyer and the doctor and the Smith-
There's the merchant and the miller,
And the beggar, it is true,
The farmer is the man that feeds them all.
There's the president who sits upon his chair,
He draws fifty thousand a year,
There's the lady and the dude,
The negro and the fool,
But the farmer is the man that feeds them all.
