The Farmers Wife Song - original song by Linda Jean (all rights reserved)

His tractor’s all he can see, that’s why he always forgets me,
And I wait up every night for time with him.
And when daylight breaks I don’t see his face
Because he’s up at dawn the whole year long,
So I sing my farmers wife song.

To be a farmers wife sounds like a life idyllic and content,
Out there in the open air, working with your man.
But the shame of it all, it’s not quite a ball,
When you sadly find out the truth.
The farming is his life, and your just his wife,
And he don’t spend time with you.

His tractor’s all he can see, that’s why he always forgets me,
And I wait up every night for time with him.
And when daylight breaks I don’t see his face
Because he’s up at dawn the whole year long,
So I sing my farmers wife song.

And when Winter comes and the field work's done,
You're hoping for a cozy time.
But then the cows need feeding, and troughs unfreezing
And then it's calving time.
And that cozy time was just a lie, you created in your head,
'Cause through the snowing and blowing, and forty belowing
Winter chores could see you dead!

His tractor’s all he can see, that’s why he always forgets me,
And I wait up every night for time with him.
And when daylight breaks I don’t see his face
Because he’s up at dawn the whole year long,
So I sing my farmers wife song.

Then Winter ends it's Summertime, those days should be sublime.
And you're making plans to spend time with you man,
But yet again....it's tractor time.
But you can see him from that old porch swing and you realize one thing,
It's not how you'd planned but he's quite a man,
And you're proud to wear his ring!

Farming is his whole life, that's why he forgets his own wife,
And I wait up every night, always the same damn thing!
But none of that matters because i'd rather
Be his farmers wife, love him all my life, and live happily ever after.
Be his farmers wife, love him all my life, and live happily every after.
....me and him and his tractor......
