| Song | Now I'm a Farmer |
| Artist | The Who |
| Album | Odds & Sods (Original recording remastered) |
| 作曲 : Pete Townshend | |
| I've got a spade and a pick-axe | |
| And a hundred miles square of land to churn about | |
| My old horse is weary but sincerely | |
| I believe that he can pull a plough | |
| Well I've moved into the jungle of the agriculture rumble, | |
| To grow my own food | |
| And I'll dig and plough and scrape the weeds | |
| Till I succeed in seeing cabbage growing through | |
| Now I'm a farmer, and I'm digging, digging, digging, digging, digging | |
| Now I'm a farmer, and I'm digging, digging, digging, digging, digging | |
| It's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming | |
| How calming and balming the effect of the air | |
| Well, I farmed for a year and grew a crop of corn | |
| That stretched as far as the eye can see | |
| That's a whole lot of cornflakes, | |
| Near enough to feed New York till 1973 | |
| Cultivation is my station and the nation | |
| Buys my corn from me immediately | |
| And holding sixty thousand bucks, I watch as dumper trucks | |
| Tip New York's corn flakes in the sea | |
| Now I'm a farmer, and I'm digging, digging, digging, digging, digging | |
| Now I'm a farmer, and I'm digging, digging, digging, digging, digging | |
| It's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming | |
| How calming and balming the effect of the air | |
| Now look here son | |
| The right thing to say | |
| Isn't necessarily what you want to say | |
| The right thing to do | |
| Isn't necessarily what you want to do | |
| The right things to grow | |
| Ain't necessarily what you want to grow | |
| Your own happiness | |
| Doesn't necessarily teach you what you want to know | |
| Well I'm suntanned and deep, so's the horse | |
| And my hands are deeply grained | |
| Old horse is a-grazing, it's amazing | |
| Just how lazily he took the strain | |
| Well my pick and spade are rusty, | |
| Because I'm paid on trust to leave my square of cornfield bare | |
| It's alarming how charming it is to be a-farming | |
| How calming and balming the effect of the air | |
| When you grow what I grow | |
| Tomatoes, potatoes, stew, eggplants ... | |
| Potatoes, tomatoes ... gourds |
