|
Nearly broke old Dom’s heart
|
To choose the sheep
|
And set them apart
|
He heard the shots
|
He just couldn’t watch
|
Hard times on the land
|
|
Ian ploughed the cabbages in
|
Prices were bad
|
He just couldn’t win
|
So what do you sow?
|
What can you sell?
|
Hard times on the land
|
|
CHORUS
|
Hard times
|
Hard times on the land
|
The tractor won’t run
|
On an oily rag
|
Hard times on the land
|
|
There was a time,
|
George knows well
|
When you couldn’t grow
|
Enough wheat to sell
|
But no matter the yield
|
This year’s a loss,
|
Hard times on the land
|
|
They were told
|
Without a doubt
|
Put in the sweat
|
It’ll work out
|
Well they’ve got sweat
|
To fill a dam
|
Hard times on the land ... CHORUS
|
