These are the seeds that my daddy sowed
This is the field that my daddy hoed
These are the crops that blossomed in the fields
That grew from the seeds that my daddy sowed
This is the bank where the money goes
To pay the man that my daddy owes
That sold us the field that blossomed into crops
That grew that from the seeds that my daddy sowed
This is the truth that the farmer knows
At the end of the day you got nothin’ to show
Cause the man who owns the bank is the man who owns the fields
Is the man who owns the seeds that my daddy sowed
These are the seeds that my daddy sowed
This is the field that my daddy hoed
These are the crops that blossomed in the fields
That grew from the seeds that my daddy sowed
