Porter Wagoner - County Farm lyrics

rate me

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
