lyrics

Farmer John
 
the pigs are waiting for their breakfast
the horse is getting restless
waiting for the man to start their day
the coffee’s waiting by the door there
it’s starting to get cold there
just another dollar gone to waste
 
so i start to wash the dishes
scrubbing last night’s dinner
trying to remember if he ever came to bed
if only dogs could tell a story
her eyes are looking worried
offer her a bone but she won’t give away her friend
 
farmer john, i’m gonna put the kettle on
if you’re not back before it boils
i will telephone your mother
walk down to your brother’s house
and tell him that you’re gone
please don’t make me find out where you are
farmer john
 
john was too fond of his whiskey
and little bags of stuff he
bought from cousin isaac when he lived across the road
i don’t ask a lot of questions
no need to subject myself
to a lot of details i don’t wanna know
 
farmer john, i’m gonna put the kettle on
if you’re not back before it boils
i am starting to lose patience
you’ve underestimated me too many times before
oh god, john
please don’t make me find out where you are
 
a spider’s dancing through the kitchen
helps me with the dishes
crawls up to the ceiling and then looks back down at me
the water’s boiling in the kettle
the clock is ticking double
and i think i lost my appetite for tea

As Parklife Mag DC put it, “the voice of country music in the DMV is a big, bright voice that belongs to Virginia native Karen Jonas.” ... more
