作曲：Traditional

Come you ladies and you gentlemen

and listen to my song

Sing it to you right but you might think it's wrong

May make you mad but I mean no harm

It's just about the renters on penny's farm

It's hard times in the country

Out on penny's farm

You move out on Penny's farm

Plant a little crop of 'bacco and a little crop of corn

Come around to see you gonna flit and plot

Till he gets himself a mortgage

On everything you got

It's hard times in the country

Out on Penny's farm

Hasn't George Penny got a flattering mouth

Move you to the country in a little log house

Got nothing it but the cracks in the wall

He'll work you in the summer and rob you in the fall

It's hard times in the country

Out on Penny's farm

You go in the fields and you work all day

Way after night but you get no pay

Promise you meat or a little lard

It's hard to be a renter on Penny's farm

It's hard times in the country

Out on Penny's farm

Where's George Penny he'll come into town

With his wagon load of peaches

not one of them is sound

He's got to have his money or somebody's check

You pay him for a bushel and you don't get a peck

It's hard times in the country

Out on Penny's farm

Where George Penny's renters they'll come into town

With their hands in their pockets

and their head a hanging down

Go in the store and the merchant will say

Your mortgage is due and I'm looking for my pay

It's hard times in the country

Out on Penny's farm

Down in his pocket with a trembling hand

Can't pay you all but I'll pay you what I can

Then to the telephone the merchant make a call

Put you on the chain gang don't pay it all

It's hard times in the country

Out on Penny's farm
