Lyrics
Uncle Sam's New Farm
C. Paul Evans Pedersen, Jr./Mount Misery Music, BMI
There goes the house my Grandpa Built with his Daddy
There goes that old red tractor I grew up on
There goes the barn, where my girlfriend, Janie Olsen
Took me to heaven on the nite of our senior prom
Yeah, this old farm goes way back in our family
We left the land of the Vikings so long ago
Now, one bad year and this Sheriff’s auction later
The Banks foreclosing on the dream my son will never know
Spoken:(Lord, hear the devil singin')
E I E I E I owe
It’s off to the auction block we go.
They're sellin' off my land and my house and the barn
They’re gonna plow another man under Uncle sam's New Farm
As I walk down this dirt road I get to thinking’
Can't help but smile thru the tears at the thought in my head
Who's gonna win when the Bankers and the lawyers
Start fightin' over the last single slice of bread
CHORUS
