Pus on your finger

Mud on your mind

The tiller is broken

Your garden is crying

There's been too much rain

Tomatoes they split

Spring was a beauty

But she turned into a beast

Your boy is rebellious

He refuses to work

Your daughter is a fine one

But allergic to dirt

The Preacher came a'calling

He wants a fresh ham

Your wife she obliges

Thaws the one you was saving

So you piddle in the garden

You pick at the ground

Your family is fighting

Oh, but you don't hear a sound
