I loved the original song and would belt it out along with the radio on the haying tractor but your version fits me better now as well..
Great tune
You have no idea how many great songs I have perverted on those long days on a tractor.
The Bog of Soggy
"John Deere fell in to a soggy bog of mud
It went down down down, ending with a thud
and it sunk sunk sunk, in that bog of mud, in that bog of mud."
Sung to the tune of George Jones Corvette Song
The John Deere Song
I stopped off at the fuel tanks for some diesel and root beer
The tank took the fuel as my Grandpa loaded up a steer
He said, "Pray for some rain Faye, before 1969
And I lose the ranch and end up in the welfare line."
Oh, it was drier than a empty water pistol
It was the driest ranch around
Hilly and lean, but it was his dream
And it made every banker frown
It was sandy loam, and way fun to disc in
Just thinking of the good days back then
So Gramps handed me his keys and said, "Here take him on to sale"
I just shook my head and then I looked at him, turning rather pale
I said, "Gramps I don't think you understand it ain't indoor jobs for me
It's the smell of diesel and dusty sweat you see”
Lord it was hotter than a Rio Grande pistol
His ranch was the driest thing around
Hilly and lean, it was his dream
And it made every banker frown
No sign of rain, no panic to get, the sparce hay in
I get parched just thinking of those days back then
