ME AND THE FARMER

G (barre on 3rd)    C (barre on 3rd)
Me and the farmer get on fine
A (barre on 5th)    D (barre on 5th)
Through stormy weather and bottles of wine                  
                             
If I pull my weight he'll treat me well                  
                              
But I'f I'm late he'll give me hell


And though it's all hard work no play

Farmer is a happy crook,

Jesus hates him every day,
                   
Cause Jesus gave and Farmer took

                            
Won't he let you go    probably no
                            
Won't he let you go    probably no
                            
Why does he treat you so?  I just don't know                 
                            
Why does he treat you so?  I just don't know



Me and the farmer like brother, like sister  

Getting on like hand and blister
        
Me and the farmer

He's chopped down sheep, planted trees
And helped the countryside to breathe
Ripped up fields, bullied flocks
And worked his workers right around the clock.

It may seem strange but he'd admit
Intentions aren't exactlt true
And though God loves his wife a bit
He hates the farmer through and through

All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All we've got is London Zoo
'cause farmer owns them all
