Jesse Screed Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) song deleted Well the banker man said he’d take the farm Daddy tried to do the best that he could And the rain just wouldn’t come And the corn wouldn’t grow Daddy tried to hold on as long as he could The banker man came to take the farm the heat it came and the corn it shriveled everything and now we just don’t know The banker man be coming pretty soon The well dried up Momma filled it with tears The wind blew the dust and now it’s everywhere The banker man will take the farm Can’t get no relief from the local store The notes come due and we know for sure Seems the banker man coming pretty soon Daddy got the shotgun And said he’d stand his ground Cause this dirt was what his pappy passed down Mother gathered the kids And hid out in the barn She couldn’t stand to watch what was going down Couldn’t stop daddy from what he did Well the banker man came to take the farm Didn’t seem quite right what he did Well the shots rang out And the blood was spilled The banker man laying very still That’s the day the rain started to come That’s the day the rain started to come And everything grew just like it should but the judge strung daddy up Just as the corn was growing Momma packed up the mule And led us down the road Didn’t seem quite right what the did Didn’t seem quite right what the did Didn’t seem quite right what the did When the banker man came to take the farm Edited Wednesday at 10:39 PM by Jesse Screed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I read the lyrics - almost as a poem - before I listened to the track; you tell such great stories. I imagined what musical interpretation you'd put on it - and of course I was miles off as usual. 😂 Such a unique style - great stuff. 👍👍 Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted Tuesday at 02:34 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:34 AM Hey Jesse --- I tried the link and it took me to some page in SoundClick but no matter what I did I could not find the song. I absoflipinlutely love the lyrics. They tell a great story and present history. I would love to hear the entire package though. Must be the new search system that SoundClick put up.
