Well my father is a farmer
   A damn good one at his trade
   And he's always loved my mama
   Though we laid her in the grave
  
   I've been down, I've been down
   A hustler and a cheat
   I'll always love my father
   His kind heart can't be beat
  
   Oh...
  
   I'd spit in your face if you laughed at me
   Don't you know, don't you know
   I might be a dipper, but I ain't a thief
   Don't you know, don't you know
  
   Oh yeah...
   Come on...
  
   Well my father is a farmer
   Used to smack me on the ass
   Used to dress me up in my Sunday best
   Get down, get down to Sunday mass
  
   And I've been down, so down
   Don't you know, don't you know
   I'll always love my father
   I love him so
