This old farmer lost his farm
Aint that a dam shame
He lost his farm to the I-r-s
They took his cows and left him in a mess
And they took his geese and took his ducks
And they took his goats for a lousy buck

Aint that a dam shame
They took his horse and took some pigs
And they took his sheep and stole some bricks
And they took some tools and took his wife
And they took his car and drove out of sight

Aint that a dam shame
Tey took his barn and didnt give a darn
And they took his cane and thats a dam shame
And they took his land and gave themselfs a hand
And they went to his bank and took his account
And they took his savings of a small amount
And now this old farmer is down and out
Aint that a dam shame
