Lyrics

Hey, I Bought A Massey Ferguson (Making Dollars Out Of Dimes)

My family’s going hungry now,
It’s time for a new kind of plan.
We’ll move to a big old farm,
Where we can live off the land.

Yes, I’m gonna be a farmer now,
The honest, hardworking kind.
I’ve got a barn and big green field,
I’ll work everyday the sun shines.

(CHORUS):
Hey, I bought a Massey Ferguson
We’re gonna bring in lots of hay, (Bring in lots of hay.)
I’m gonna take care of my family
It’s a brand new shiny day, (Brand new shiny day.)
This time my plan’s a good one,
Everything will be just fine, (Things will be just fine.)
Our worrying days are over now
We’ll make dollars out of dimes, (Dollars out of dimes.)

This plan’s no good, where’s the sun?
I can’t get my tractor to start.
My kids are tired and hungry,
And that’s just breaking my heart.

I’m about to lose everything,
I guess farming is not for me.
I feel like I lost my honor,
The tractor’s broke and so are we.

(CHORUS):
Hey, I bought a Massey Ferguson
We’re gonna bring in lots of hay, (Bring in lots of hay.)
I’m gonna take care of my family
It’s a brand new shiny day, (Brand new shiny day.)
This time my plan’s a good one,
Everything will be just fine, (Things will be just fine.)
Our worrying days are over now
We’ll make dollars out of dimes, (Dollars out of dimes.)
