Текст (слова) песни: Barenaked Ladies - Straw Hat And Old Dirty Hank

 
I tend the wheat field that makes your bread 
I bind the sweet veal, pluck the hens that make your bed 
Mother nature and mother earth 
Are two of three women who dictate what I`m worth 
 
I`m the farmer 
I work in the fields all day 
Don`t mean to alarm her 
But I know it was meant to be this way 
 
You cried a tear, I wiped it dry 
I put you up upon a pedestal so high 
If you should waver, if you should sway 
I`d catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away 
 
You signed your picture with and O and X 
I bet you don`t write "love" each time you sign your cheques 
 
I’m the farmer 
I work in the fields all day 
Don`t mean to alarm her 
But I know we were meant to be this way 
 
All of this corn I grow I grow it all for you 
I took a hatchet to the radio I did it all for you 
Well you could have written back 
And you could have said "thank you" 
But I guess you`ve got better things, 
But I guess you`ve got better things, 
I guess you`ve got better things, 
Better things to do 
Better things to do yeah 
Better things to do 
 
You say you love me, is that the truth? 
Although they`ve heard the songs, my friends need living proof 
I know your address, I ring the bell 
I bring you flowers and a twenty-two with shells 
 
I`m the farmer 
I work in the fields all day 
Never wanted to harm her 
But I know it was meant to be this way 
I know it was meant to be this way 
I know it was meant to be this way
