Verse 1

Me and the farmer, you know I’m fine
Through stormy weather and bottles of wine
If I pull my weight he'll treat me well
But if I'm late he'll give me hell

Bridge

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, took ...

Pre-Chorus

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

Chorus

Me and the farmer like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer

Interlude

| G | Cadd9 | A7sus4 | Dsus4 |

Verse 2

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

Bridge

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

Pre-Chorus

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

Chorus

Me and the farmer like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer

Interlude

Bridge

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

Pre-Chorus

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

Chorus

Me and the farmer like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer
