Things Ain't Working Out Down at the Farm Lyrics
There goes Moses carrying his bible book
Never has a problem, just has a cup
It's good clean alcohol and it fills you up
And here I go laughing like a fool, yeah
Things ain't working out down at the farm
Got no bag or baggage or love to keep me warm
And I ain't been in trouble since the day I was born
Things ain't working out down at the farm
I used to spend my sunny days supping always
Along came the forbidden and he put me away
Down at the station was kept for strays
And I went laughing, geez he like busting me,
He liked busting me
He caught me unawares and he made me strip naked
Oh I was scared, oh I was scared, I was shaking
And he said
It's you and me
And me and you
And me and me
And you and you
And me and me
And I just kept laughing like a fool, yeah
Things ain't working out down at the farm
Never has a problem, just has a cup
It's good clean alcohol and it fills you up
And here I go laughing like a fool, yeah
Got no bag or baggage or love to keep me warm
And I ain't been in trouble since the day I was born
Things ain't working out down at the farm
Along came the forbidden and he put me away
Down at the station was kept for strays
And I went laughing, geez he like busting me,
He liked busting me
Oh I was scared, oh I was scared, I was shaking
And he said
It's you and me
And me and you
And me and me
And you and you
And me and me
And I just kept laughing like a fool, yeah

This was one of THINLIZZY's first modern songs. It was recorded when the band only was comprised of 3 members! They had Eric Bell on guitar, Phillip Lynott on bass, and the incomparable Brian Downey on drums. To me, this song is about a prison stay in first person by Lynott, I love ThinLizzy. Rock on Forever!
