lyrics

times were tough back then
we didn't know what to do
we used to throw horseshoes at the barn
uncle joe got the colic that year
fell down like a sack of potatoes at harvest
we didn't have much of a baccer crop
crows got to it like they always do
had to sell our boots for more seed
it was gonna be a long winter before we tasted a fresh batch
cousin danny got too close to the thresher
one less hand on the farm that fall
could have used him in the fields too
$1.20 short on the taxes
what danny makes us in a season

don't give me anymore reason to believe
that $1.25 is what you need
cuz i woudn't give ya $1.21
but to get back danny's hand i'd give my thumb

i'd give my wrists too
anything to get danny back on the tractor again
not that it was much use
store was out of petrol another 6 months they said
and ol bessie down to her ribs
ain't gon plow no field no more
didn't have the heart to kill her or give her away
we just let her live out her days
not much to say about the poor ol hound
got laden down with the fleas
had to take him out behind the barn and shoot him
our last bullet

i miss my ol dog like i miss my ol hog
couldn't feed her anymore so we had to kill her off
so i took her down to the river
and i drown her
