Words & Music by Jameson Fox, 2021 Long, long time ago (way back when the earth was flat) Lived a man named Farmer Joe (worked all day and broke his back) In the morning the sky was lit The strawberries glowed scarlet If he harvests now, he’ll have an early quit But instead he’ll take his time and enjoy it Whoa whoa whoa Long, long time ago (way back when the earth was flat) Lived a man named Farmer Joe (worked all day and broke his back) Then it rained down and made him wet So he stood around and thought a tick If he goes inside, he’ll dry in a bit But instead he’ll stay outside and work through it Whoa whoa whoa He built his family farmhouse bit by bit And room by room he made the most of it Each wing was a different shade of grit The wooden claps were weathered and looked sick The grays of his brick and weathered wood don’t fit Nor the greens and reds and blues of his land befit But he worked all day and broke his back over it Put his Wellies on and got right back in the thick Long, long time ago (way back when the earth was flat) Lived a man named Farmer Joe (worked all day and broke his back) In the evening the sky was drawn With soup on the coals he gave a yawn If he stays awake, he’ll miss the dawn So alone he hits the hay then his day was gone Whoa whoa whoa
