Good Farmer from Good Farmer by Chris & Adam Carroll

Oh Daisy, she gets up early before it rains
With her first pair of work gloves
To feed the animals and give them names
Oh Daisy, she’s got dirt on her little hands
Like her mama showed her how to listen to the land
She’s a good farmer, she’s a good farmer

Oh Suzy, blushing cheeks and a love on her mind
She’s still working, a little half hearted some of the time
Oh Suzy, she can’t wait to get time alone
Maybe have a family, maybe yield a harvest of her own
She’s a good farmer, she’s a good farmer

The sun, the rain, plant seeds and pray
You get up in the morning, until you see the light
It gets dark sometimes, and you might not have a lot
You’ve got to grow what you’ve planted
You’ve got to work with what you’ve got

Oh Rosie, midnight shifts and overtime
Her backs been hurtin, her feet in rhythm with the line
She’s got children, rows of their dreams in her mind
So she’s hanging on just to find the home they left behind
She’s a good farmer, she’s a good farmer

Oh Lilly, she has found a great place to grow
And she’s raised flowers, she’s earned the strength to let em go
She is the music, from the earth up to the sky
She writes the words of the orphans lullaby
She’s a good farmer, she’s a good farmer

The sun, the rain, plant seeds and pray
