So I asked Cloudhopper if he had any words. And he did, and I came up with a tune for them.
FARMER BROWN
Farmer Brown was big and round, [G D]
always nice and never frowns [C D]
they all love him in the damn whole town [G D]
no nicer guy to be found. [C D G]
Farmer Brown drove into town
it started to rain and his truck broke down
it started to flood and he started to drown
washing away Farmer Brown.
Patty Brown drove into town
she saw her husband starting to drown
she threw him a rope and pulled him around
pumped his heart on the stone cold ground
ch:
Farmer Brown and Patty Brown [G D]
drove to a bar and drank some down [C D]
a good stiff shot of Royal Crown [G D]
something to take the chill off. [C G]
Farmer Brown didn’t make a sound
so she took him to the doc in town
who put him in a hospital gown
took his pulse and laid him down.
Farmer Brown got an Ultrasound
he woke up and came around
holding hands with Patty Brown
they got to keep the love they found.
ch: x2

A fabulously charming story song. Lovely lyric, and Pippa has done a great job turning this into something magical. :-)

Thank goodness Farmer Brown is still with us! What a charming story. And that Patty Brown is a gem herself! I can see these people! Good take on the story...enjoyed the guitar/vocal.
