Now look at the beginning of the Bentley's "Down on Penny's Farm":

Come you ladies and you gentlemen
And listen to my song,
I'll sing it to you right, but you might think it's wrong,
May make you mad, but I mean no harm,
It's all about the renters on Penny's farm.

CHORUS:
It's hard times in the country,
Down on Penny's farm.

Looks like Down on Penny's Farm is also based loosely (The opening lines are identical) on Sussdorff's "Hard Times."
