Laura Nyro - Once It Was Alright Now (Farmer Joe) lyrics

Farmer Joe

I'm the meanest woman you know


she said, Farmer Joe

I'm the meanest ole woman you know

I let you slide about an hour ago

Farmer Joe

get your gun

run run run—from love

Runnin' from the mindreader

Run, baby, run



Got a date

with the town shoe maker you know

she said, I can't wait for

your cornfields

baby, to grow

Whoa baby

Whoa baby

Get me my bags

and let the good wind blow

Get me my bags

and let the good wind blow

Get me my bags

and let the good wind blow

I've got to see about a man I know

Fire

flames of gold rush my mind

Sock it to the railroad, baby

ooh baby, there's a train whistle

comin'

ooh baby, there's a train whistle

comin'

ooh baby, there's a train whistle

conin'—

Once it was alright now
