Lyrics

I say -"Farmer, Farmer!"
 I say -"Farmer!"
 -"Can you tell me where this road goes to?"
 -"Well, it ain't moved since I've been here"
 -"What I mean, Farmer
 Is how do I get to Little Rock?"
 -"Little Rock? I don't know 'bout no Little Rock
 But there's a whopper down in my Spring Ranch!"
 -"Farmer, I say... hum
 Your corn looks mighty yellow and bad!"
 -"Yep! We planted the yellow kind!"
 -"Farmer! How did your taters turn out this year?"
 -"It didnt turn out a tall, me and Sal had to dig 'em out!"
 -"Farmer! You know there's no much difference between you and a fool!"
 -"No! Just the difference between my yard and a fence"
 -"Farmer! You just start to play the second part of that tune
 And why you didn't go on with it?"
 -"Ill tell truth, Stranger, I dont know the rest of that tune
 I heard it played downtown a little while
 Back when a show passed through
 But all I can an remember is the first part"
 -"Farmer, y'know I know the rest of that tune
 Let me play the banjo a while"
 -"Oh, you play the banjo!
 Step right up here, sit down and stay all night!
 Sal! Set the table!
 We got a gent here to play the banjo! Let's hear it now"
