Shelley
There's too many chickens on the farm mother
Not enough hens that lay
Land's gone dry from the heat mother
It's gone hard to stay
Now the pump won't pump, and the hen won't lay
The grain don't take, it's blown away
Ma we're sinking, we got to fight today
We've got to pull together, get on steam and make it while we can
There's too much drinking on the farm mother,
Now we gotta make a stand
Pull together, let's move fast and pray God lends a hand
Let's start working like a horse mother
We can save this land
Now the cat's gone thin and the goose is squawking,
They both know the score (sure do)
Everywhere I turn, there's dust mother
Eating this land for sure
Well the pump won't pump and the hen won't lay
The grain don't take, it's blown away
Ma we're sinking, we gotta fight today (everybody know it)
Pull together, get on steam, let's make it while we can
There's too much drinking on the farm mother
We gotta make a stand
Pull together, let's move fast, and pray God lends a hand
Let's start working like a horse mother
We can save this land
There's too many chickens on the farm mother
Not enough hens that lay
Land's gone dry from the heat mother
It's gone hard to stay
Now the pump won't pump, and the hen won't lay
The grain don't take, it's blown away
Ma we're sinking, we got to fight today
Everybody
Pull together, get on steam, let's make it while we can
There's too much drinking on the farm mother
We gotta make a stand
Pull together, let's move fast, and pray God lends a hand
Let's start working like a horse mother
We can save this land
