lyrics

Being industrious seems a must
But not the way our grandfathers learned
a great new dust bowl is gathering its gust
when the ground clouds come where will we turn

Sue you will always be my pretty lady
even with work’s wrinkles round your eyes
but if the work we need take me away from ye
don’t you waste no water, don’t you cry

so when new gardens need growing
we all should be knowing
no one need be a hoeing alone
save the fences for the rabbits, if you need a tool you can have it
there’ll be room for everyone and we all need a home

but if we’re gonna eat us any pears or beans
we’d better keep that soil where it is
everybody know our plows have cut far and deep
But don’t yet reminisce of the things you’ll miss

When new gardens need growing
we all should be knowing
no one need be hoeing alone
save the fences for the rabbits
if you need a tool you can have it
there’ll be room for everyone and we all need a home

but if in the dust when the dipper loses its might in the night sky
just remember that it needs a human hand
if it’s to scrape anything from the pan anyways

cuz when new gardens need growing we all should be knowing
no one need be a hoeing alone
save the fences for the rabbits, if you need a tool you can have it
there’ll be room for everyone and we all need a home
