Working in the red hot sun
Payin' for the wrong I've done
Worked so hard here at the county farm
My calloused hands that hold the fork
Pitchin' hay until it's dark
Boy the work is hard here at the county farm
The county farm stretches the summer days so long
Makes me wish I'd never left my country home
Payin' for the wrong I've done
I never meant to harm no one
Boy the work is hard here at the county farm
They told me that they'd show me how
To cut the hay and use the plow
I've learned a lot here at the county farm
I work the fields from sun 'til sun
Payin' for the wrong I've done
Boy the work is hard here at the county farm
The county farm stretches the summer days so long
Makes me wish I'd never left my country home
Payin' for the wrong I've done
I never meant to harm no one
Boy the work is hard here at the county farm
I hope my poor old mom and dad
Don't find out how their boy went bad
Working out my sentence on the county farm
My mama's kind and gentle heart
And daddy, too, they tried so hard
To raise me where I'd never work on the county farm
The county farm stretches the summer days so long
Makes me wish I'd never left my country home
Payin' for the wrong I've done
I never meant to harm no one
Boy the work is hard here at the county farm
Workin' out my sentence on the county farm
