Lyrics: Laura Nyro. Eli & The 13th Confession. Once It Was Alright Now (Farmer Joe).

"Farmer Joe, I?m the meanest woman you know
Woman you know", she said
Farmer Joe, I?m the meanest woman, you know
Woman you know
I let you slide about an hour ago, now

Farmer boy, get your gun, run, run, run
Farmer boy, get your gun, run, run, run, run, run, run
Farmer boy, get your gun, run, run, run
Farmer boy, get your gun and run, run, run
Like a son of a gun from love
Running from the mind reader, run baby, run

Got a date with the town shoe maker you know, baby you know
She said, "I can?t wait for your cornfields to grow, baby to grow"
Whoa, baby, whoa baby, give my bags and let the good wind blow
Give my bags and let the good wind blow

Give my bags and let the good wind blow
I?ve got to see about a man I know
Fire, flames of gold rush my mind
Fire, flames of gold rush my mind

Sock it to the railroad, baby
Baby, there?s a train whistle coming
Baby, there?s a train whistle coming

Once it was alright, alright, baby
Once it was alright, alright, baby
Once it was alright, alright, no
