Tater Raisin' Man

Tater tater raisin' raisin' tater raisin' man
Tater tater raisin' raisin' tater raisin' man

Brown from too much sunshine tired from too much toil
Weary to the bone from tryin' to scrape a livin'
Of a nothin' but a rocky soil
Well the poor ol' tater farmer it's a wonder he ain't dead
Well I was talkin' to one just the other day
And I swear here's what he said

He said I pick'em pick 'em up put'em in the barrel
Put the big ol' barrel on the tater truck
If you're gonna make money when you're raisin' these spuds
Well you sure need a whole lotta luck
Well if the blight don't come in the middle of the year
If the pickers come when I call
If the bank holds off on the money I owe
And the frost don't come too soon this fall
I got 'em in the ground I can't quit now
You won't find me grievin'
I'll betcha five dollars it's my best year
Cause it looks like I'm gonna break even
[ instrumental ]
Tater tater raisin' raisin' tater raisin' man
Tater tater raisin' raisin' tater raisin' man

Well I gotta 'em in the ground and I can't quit now
So you won't find me grievin'
I'll betcha five dollars it's my best year
Cause it looks like I'm gonna break even
