Come on along and take a ride
And look at life from the cheery side
Howdy neighbor (Howdy neighbor)
Happy harvest
May your forty acres soon be fields of clover (Yes indeed)
Yes indeed and plant a wish with every seed
And by and by
The sun and rain′ll make an etching
Of a million little green fingers stretching to the sky
Howdy neighbor (Howdy neighbor)
Happy harvest
Get your rocking chairs for all your cares are over (Hallelu)
Clap your hands and lick your chops
Your bumper crops are on the climb
Hey, we're gonna roll in plenty
Spend a five or ten or twenty
And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime
Remember neighbor
When you work for Mother Nature
You get paid by Father Time
Chicks are gonna cackle
And every burlap sack′ll be full of
Taters and tobaccos
And dozens of different good and healthy greens
And if the weather man won't upset us
Mister you can bet us
There'll be lots of crispy lettuce in your jeans
(Potatoes, sweet potatoes, fried tomatoes
Crispy lettuce in your jeans)
Get into livin′, find out just what livin′ means
(Howdy neighbor) Howdy neighbor
(Happy harvest) Happy harvest
May your forty acres soon be fields of clover (Yes indeed)
Go on, puff your corn cob pipes
And no more gripes and no more groans
No mortgages or loans
And you won't see a trace of worryin′ on the face of Farmer John
(Howdy neighbor) Howdy neighbor
(Happy harvest) Happy harvest
Get your rocking chairs for all your cares are over (Hallelu)
Clap your hands and lick your chops
Your bumper crops are on the climb
Hey, we're gonna roll in plenty
Spend a five or ten or twenty
And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime
Remember neighbor
When you work for Mother Nature
You get paid by Father Time
(Howdy neighbor, howdy neighbor)
(Hallelu)
