And the board of directors up in the city
If we can be of assistance during your transition
Underneath a cold gray country sky
Has instructed us to take the farm from you
This Saturday mornin' there will be an auction
Underneath a cold gray country sky
And the cost of operation may, well, be risin'
They'll be bidding America goodbye
That we know your family's worked that land for years
And while the rest of the nation is still sleepin'
They'll be bidding America goodbye
And while the rest of the nation is still sleepin'
This Saturday mornin' there will be an auction
And so Mr. Johnson let us say in conclusion
But the fallin' price of wheat's not our concern
But the fact is that you lose more than you earn
We understand your problems and wish that we could help you
Please don't hesitate to call us here
