Penny's Farm Traditional - The Bentley Boys Come you ladies and you gentlemen and liston to my song I'll sing it to you right but you might think it's wrong Make may you mad, but i mean no harm It's just about the renters on Penny's farm   It's hard times in the country, out on Penny's farm Now you move out on Penny's farm Plant a little cropp of 'bacco* and a little crop of corn He'll come around to plan and plot Till he gets himself a mortgage on everything you got   It's hard times in the country, out on Penny's farm You got to the fileds and you work all day Till way after dark but you get no pay Promise you meat or a little lard It's hard to be a renter on Penny's farm   It's hard times in the country, out on Penny's farm Now here's George Penny come into town With a wagon-load of peaches, not one of them sound He's got to have his money or somebody's check You pay him for a bushel and you don't get a pack   It's hard times in the country, out on Penny's farm Then George penny renters they come into town With their hands in their pockets and their heads hanging down Go in the store and the merchant will say: Your mortgage is due and I'm looking for my pay   It's hard times in the country, out on Penny's farm Goes down in his pocket with a trembling hand: Can't pay you all but I'll pay you what I can Then to the telephone the merchant makes a call: The'll put you on the chain gang* if you don't pay it all!   It's hard times in the  country, out on Penny's farm   alles-uke.de
