cnd Lyr Req: Go To Town And Get You A Widder (2) Lyr Req: Go To Town And Get You A Widder 06 Feb 23


This is from a Facebook group I'm a member of, and it's got me curious...
Years ago I had a mix tape that included an unaccompanied male singer performing a song with the following text:

Said go to town and get you a widder
said I don't need no widder now
Just a pick and a shovel and a hoe and a plow
Suit you better than a widder now.

He went to the fence and he peeked in
Said the wheat and the grass went up to his chin
Glory be to God the way it grew so high
It caused that young man's corn to die

Does anyone here recognize it? I'd love to find that recording again but my searches have been fruitless.
Thanks!
