I tend the wheat field that makes your bread
  I bind the sweet veal, pluck the hens that make your bed
  Mother Nature & Mother Earth
  Are two of three women who dictate what I'm worth
  
  [Chorus]
  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 waiver, if you should sway
  I'd catch you, spread my tiny wings and fly away
  You signed your picture with an O and X
  I bet you don't write "love" each time you sign your cheques
  
  [Chorus]
  
  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
  You could have written back,
  You could have said "thank you"
  I guess you've got better things,
  Better things to do
  
  You say you love me, is that the truth?
  Although they've heard the songs, my friends want living proof
  I know your address, I ring the bell
  I bring you flowers and a .22 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
