Plow Under |
Remember when the AAA |
Killed a million hogs a day? |
Instead of hogs it’s men today |
Plow the fourth one under |
Plow under! |
Plow under! |
Plow under |
Ev’ry fourth American boy |
They said our agricultural |
System was about to fall |
So from Washington they sent a call |
Plow the fourth one under |
The price of cotton wouldn’t rise |
They said, «We've got to fertilize.» |
So now on us they turn their eyes |
Plow the fourth one under |
They said our system wouldn’t work |
Until we killed the surplus off |
So now they look at us and say |
Plow the fourth one under |
Any ignorant mule does know |
Better than to step on a cotton row |
But there ain’t no mules in Congress |
So plow the fourth one under |
Now the politicians rant |
A boy’s no better than a cotton plant |
But we are here to say you can’t |
Plow the fourth one under |
Plow under |
Don’t you… plow under |
Don’t you… plow under |
Every fourth American boy |
Now, don’t you… plow under |
Don’t you… plow under |
Don’t you… plow under |
Every fourth American boy |
