I am trying to learn the Carter Family Song "Chewing Gum"

I can't make out from the recording the verse regarding the farmer. Can anyone help? The verse goes something like...

I wouldn't have a farmer Tell you the reason why. He has so much food specially pumpkin pie.

That's what I hear, but it doesn't make sense.

Does anyone know more about the song? Who wrote it? Is there a published version?

Thanks jabunch in Silver Spring Md.
