I’m Just a Farmer, Plain & Simple
I’m just a farmer, plain and simple.
Not of royal birth, but rather a worker of the earth.
I know not of riches, but rather of patches on my britches.
I’m just a farmer, plain and simple.
I know of drought and rain, of pleasure and pain.
I know the good, the bad, the happy and the sad.
I’m a man of emotions,
A man who loves this land and the beauty of its sand.
I’m just a farmer, plain and simple.
I know the spring’s fresh flow and autumn’s golden glow.
Of a new born calf’s hesitation and an eagle’s destination.
I’m just a farmer plain and simple.
I know of tall pines and long waiting lines.
I know the warmth of campfires and the agony of flat tires.
I’m just a farmer, plain and simple.
I’m a man who loves his job
And the life that I live.
I’m Just a farmer, plain and simple.
And I’m a reaper of harvest.
I’m the sower of seeds and I’m the tender of stock.
I’m just a farmer, plain and simple.
I know of planting corn and bailing hay and animals
going astray.
I live in a complex world, but my faith guides me.
I’m just a farmer, plain and simple.
George wished to be cremated and scattered
on the land.
Will be so very Dearly missed by all
Families and Friends
