SHORT ON SALARY

(Music: LONG TALL SALLY, Enotris Johnson, Richard Penniman, Robert Blackwell) (info./disclaimers) (glossary) (index) (gardening guide)

Well he's short on salary
He's got debts up to here
He works 'til he drops
And it's getting worse each year
Oh baby, yeah baby, whoa baby, with no funds in sight

A farmer's life is ecstacy
A farmer's life is hell
If you can do without the money
You can really live quite well
Oh baby, yeah baby, whoa baby, with no funds in sight

His customers live comfortably
At fifty bucks an hour
He'd gladly pay himself twenty a day
If it were in his power
Oh baby, yeah baby, whoa baby, with no funds in sight

Well, he'd like to have some funds in sight
Have some funds in sight
Everything could be right
If he could have some funds in sight
Have some funds -- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

He'd like to have some funds in sight
Have some funds in sight
Everything could be right
If he could have some funds in sight
Yeah, he would have some funds -- some funds alright

Comments: The Beetless know too many overworked, underpaid farmers not to have written this song. Luckily our lads are musicians as well as gardeners-farmers, and they're going to make it big some day.
