This old farmer lost his farm Aint that a dam shame He lost his farm to the I-r-s They took his cows and left him in a mess And they took his geese and took his ducks And they took his goats for a lousy buck
Aint that a dam shame They took his horse and took some pigs And they took his sheep and stole some bricks And they took some tools and took his wife And they took his car and drove out of sight
Aint that a dam shame Tey took his barn and didnt give a darn And they took his cane and thats a dam shame And they took his land and gave themselfs a hand And they went to his bank and took his account And they took his savings of a small amount And now this old farmer is down and out Aint that a dam shame
