Woodchuck Farm - Jeff Hutchins

Woodchuck Farm Lyrics

I’ve been working this land now for 24 long years
And I started to think there’s nothing worth keeping me here
When MacConnell came a’hobbling over Chester Hill
And he said, “Get inside, somethin’s up outside,”
And sputtered out the words I’m hearing still.
You better duck inside, something beautiful’s a’coming
I’m sorta scared to let you see
That there’s a truck outside and the engine is a’humming
In a 2-part harmony.
Kiss your good-luck charm and grab a’hold of something
But please let go of me
This is Woodchuck Farm, so we’re not expecting nothing,
Nothing’s all we ever get for free.
I ran outside to the barn to see if something was out there,
But I only saw only Grandpa sitting rocking in his chair.
I told him that he better come inside and go to bed,

But he said, “Get inside, somethin’s up outside,”
And then can you guess what Grandpa said?
He shouted, “Duck inside, something beautiful’s a’coming
I’m sorta scared to let you see
That there’s a truck outside and the engine is a’humming
In a 2-part harmony.
Kiss your good-luck charm and grab ahold of something
But please let go of me
This is Woodchuck Farm, so we’re not expecting nothing,
Nothing’s all we ever get for free.”
Oh my wife is now in labor, and my cow just had a calf
But it don’t mean that you’re happy just ‘cause you know how to laugh.
Resist ye all temptation as I sing this song to you,
You better run inside, close the doors and hide,
Those cloudy skies just might turn blue.
You better duck inside, something beautiful’s a’coming
I’m sorta scared to let you see
That there’s a truck outside and the engine is a’humming
In a full-part harmony.
Kiss your good-luck charm and grab ahold of something
But please let go of me
This is Woodchuck Farm, so we’re not expecting nothing,
Nothing’s all we ever get for free.
