i'm fixin' to hoe
'fore the rain sets in
or crops, i might be squanderin'
guess i best go

i'll fill up the cracks
with seeds from the store
my rows are straight...not wanderin'
where's the damn hoe ?

and the seeds must not be scattered
that is wrong, not right
they all belong just right
to grow up strong
see the seedbags sittin' there
there's corn and peas and lima beans
some turnip greens and cabbage by the score

i'm plantin' my field in a logical way
must keep the cows from saunterin'
where's the damn hoe ?

and if rainfall starts to splatter
really strong all night
i must be strong and fight
and carry on
tractor farmers roll around
they're hurryin'...they always ask me
why i do it....don't my back get sore

i'm takin' my time
i'm old fashioned, it seems
like farmers did it, yesterday
and my crops grow

i'm fixin' to hoe
'fore the rain sets in
just in case you're wonderin'
yeah, its damn slow
where's the damn hoe ?

i'm fixin' to hoe
'fore the rain sets in
some people think i'm blunderin'
yet i still go
