  • Someday I'll be a farmer, working the land
    I wish I was a farmer, to work with my hands
    'Cause it's been too long a ride, too high the fare
    Well, I built an-climbed a mountain
    But it wasn't there
    And I been lookin' all around looked everywhere
    Well, I built and climbed a mountain
    But it wasn't there
    It isn't there, dumb ta dumb
    It isn't here, it isn't there, nor anywhere

    I'm gonna pick an apple right from the tree
    I'm gonna eat the apple 'cause it grew there for me
    And it's been to long a ride, too high the fare
    Well, I built an-climbed a mountain
    But it wasn't there
    And I been lookin' all around, looked everywhere
    To build and climb a mountain if it isn't there
    It isn't there, dumb ta dumb
    It isn't here, it isn't there, nor anywhere

    I wish I was a farmer, working the land
    Some day I'll be a farmer to work with my hands
    'Cause, it's been too long a ride, too high the fare
    You know I built and climbed a mountain
    But it wasn't there
    And I been lookin' all around, looked everywhere
    Well, I built an-climbed a mountain, but it wasn't there
    And I been lookin' all around, looked everywhere
    To build and climb a mountain if it isn't there
    It isn't there, dumb ta dumb
    It isn't here, it isn't there, nor anywhere

    I wish I was a farmer, working the land
    Some day I'll be a farmer to work with my hands
