Song language: English
Farmer Tan |
| There are tears in the eyes of the scarecrow |
| His head is sinking' low |
| He tends his fields with the best of them |
| Thinkin' love can make it grow |
| But when the landlord says it’s over |
| And the harvest has turned cold |
| There ain’t enough to pay the man |
| After the crops have been sold |
| Tell me what do we see when we look in the mirror |
| He don’t see no money but he sees something clearer |
| There’s a man doin' all that he can in the midst of no concern |
| He ain’t in the sun tryin' to get his arms brown |
| He’s tryin' to pull a livin' out of that old hard ground |
| These days a man and his dreams can get a little burned |
| Workin' on a farmer tan |
| Workin' on a farmer tan |
| The fruits of his labor, have dried up on the vine |
| He don’t want for finer things, he’s wanting to get by |
| There are fertile fields of compassion |
| We have yet to turn |
| We educate and we nominate but will we ever learn |
| Chorus repeats twice |
