---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FARMER'S REQUIEM For 200 years or more My family line has crossed this soil And for every drop of rain A drop of sweat did closely follow But I don’t find The better times of yesterday Yet I would not dream Of leaving here Of leaving here Unless they came And took it all away This land my mind They seem to be one the same This work my life There is no difference I can see But I don’t find The better times of yesterday Yet I would not dream Of leaving here Of leaving here Unless they came And took it all away Time once was My father’s work was my joy and pride But now my ways Hold little hope for my own child And I don’t find The better times of yesterday Yet I would not dream Of leaving here Of leaving here Unless they came And took it all away So drink to the mem Who used to sweat in the sun of the day And spit on the men Who now refuse that we be paid And I don’t find The better times of yesterday Yet I would not dream Of leaving here Of leaving here Unless they came And took it all away And feed us not Though we once fed them ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
