(Howdy Neighbor) <br>
<br>
Verse:<br>
<br>
Oh, things are gonna jell<br>
For the farmer in the dell<br>
And how, and how!<br>
Keep the roads a-clear,<br>
It's a "go to market" year,<br>
And how, and how!<br>
There'll be a prosperous swish to the tail of ev'ry cow,<br>
We'll sow and plow and hoe and how, how, how!<br>
<br>
Chorus 1:<br>
<br>
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest,<br>
May your forty acres soon be fields of clover!<br>
Yes indeed 'n plant a wish with ev'ry seed 'n bye and bye,<br>
The sun and rain will make an etching <br>
Of a million little green fingers stretching to the sky.<br>
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest!<br>
Get your rocking chairs, for all your cares are over.<br>
Clap your hands and lick your chops,<br>
Your bumper crops are on the climb;<br>
Hey! We're gonna roll in plenty,<br>
Spend a five or ten or twenty,<br>
And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime.<br>
Remember, neighbor, when you work for Mother Nature,<br>
You get paid by Father Time.<br>
<br>
Chorus 2:<br>
<br>
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest,<br>
May your forty acres soon be fields of clover!<br>
Yes indeed 'n plant a wish with ev'ry seed 'n bye and bye,<br>
The sun and rain will make an etching <br>
Of a million little green fingers stretching to the sky.<br>
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest!<br>
Get your rocking chairs, for all your cares are over.<br>
Clap your hands and lick your chops,<br>
Your bumper crops are on the climb;<br>
And in crowded country chapels<br>
Ev'ry farmer will be ???,<br>
And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime.<br>
Remember, neighbor, when you work for Mother Nature,<br>
You get paid by Father Time.<br>
<br>
Patter:<br>
<br>
Chicks are gonna cackle<br>
And ev'ry burlap sack'll<br>
Be full of 'taters and tobaccos,<br>
And dozens of diff'rent young and healthy greens;<br>
And if the weatherman won't upset us,<br>
Mister, you can bet us,<br>
There'll be lots of crispy lettuce in your jeans!<br>
<br>
[Choruses]<br>
