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
