[Verse 1]
E
Well the farmer prayed for a better year
A
And the crops were good like the Lord did hear
B7
But his barn burnt down with winter near
E A
The answer came in white and black
B7 E
In the farmer's almanac, it says
A B7 E
If a man could have half his wishes, he could double his trouble
E
A sweet old lady was eighty four
A
When her kinfolks came for a month or more
B7
Now from overworked she's on the other shore
E A
Much too late with ya'll come back
B7 E
And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
A B7 E
Visitors and fish smell after 3 days
[Verse 2]
E
Our leader was a silver-tongued man
A
He deceived the people of the land
B7
And when he got caught he couldn't stand
E A
It's a little off-beat and a little off-track
B7 E
But it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
A B7 E
In rivers and bad government, the lightest things float to the top
E A B7 E E A B7 E
[Verse 3]
E
Rod said I don't believe in God
A
Rod died and lies beneath the sod
B7
Well God did not believe in Rod
E A
Life is a troubled and a wearied track
B7 E
But it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
A B7 E
Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death
[Verse 4]
E
The little boy followed the honey bee
A
And it flew straight to the honey tree
B7
He got stung but got the honey free
E A
Consolation for the things you lack
B7 E
Is in the farmer's almanac, it says
A B7 E
God gives us the darkness so we can see the stars
[Verse 5]
E
He came home 3 hours late from work
A
Said "I had a flat and fell in the dirt"
B7
She said "and got lipstick on your shirt"
E A
Well it turned out like Jill and Jack
B7 E
And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
A B7 E
Lies have to be covered up, truth can run around naked
E A B7 E E A B7 E
[Verse 6]
E
He said honey you know I'm true
A
I just look at other women that's all I do
B7
Then she caught him with her best friend Peggy Sue
E A
Sometimes some women will look back
B7 E
And it says in the farmer's almanac, it says
A B7 E
There is a lot of difference in window-shoppin' and shop-liftin'
[Verse 7]
E
I sat down at a shoe-shine stand
A
I had a real slow shoe-shine man
B7
I said you don't pop that rag like some of 'em can
E A
He looked at me and then he said right back
B7 E
"It says in the farmer's almanac, it says
A B7 E
The trouble with the world today is there's too much poppin' and not enough shinin'"
[Outro]
