brezhnev songs about British and American farmers (15) British and American farmers 22 Jul 09


Does anyone know of any British song that's equivalent to The Farmer is the Man?

In my experience (of songs, that is):

The British farmer rises with the lark, fetches the hay, sheers some sheep, has his daughter held up by highwaymen, takes on a young lad to reap and sow, likes a drink and gets harrassed by elves.

The American farmer is a folk hero, forever scrabbling in the dirt to feed everyone, only to get ripped off all the way up the food chain.
