I just wrote it - use it if you like (make up your own tune

My wife died a year last tuesday
Now I share this farm all alone
Except for the kids and my mem'ries
And the words on the black marble stone

"Here lies Mary the wife of a farmer
She could milk and herd cows with the best
Died while she was doing her duties
And now she is laid here to rest."

She died as she ploughed the top pasture
Her furrows so straight and so true
Went through the hedge on her tractor
In the river fifteen feet below

The tyres imprinted her middle
the steering wheel some other place
and the PTO ended up somewhere
and she died with a smile on her face

So now I'm in search of a new one
One handed I can't run the farm
So a want-ad I'm placing in the paper
And I promise you'll come to no harm

You needn't be sexy or clever
I'll give you a trial for a year
As long as you've got your own tractor
with an agricultural licence my dear.
