Katie and Burl
Acoustic Syndicate

nI once knew the man who farmed this land, He worked himself to an early gravenHe grew what he could and he saved all he could save nAnd now he’s back to the earth where he came from.nHe married a girl named Katie, They met in church on a SundaynThey went their own way and they raised four kids and they tried to live as their parents didnnChorusnOh what can be said of a man and his wife nWhen it takes all they’ve got just to keep themselves alivenI once knew the man who farmed this landnnTheir first child was born in the winter time, But he was small and weak so soon the baby diednBut they were strong, so they went on and with the help of each other they raised four strong.nNow the farm which I speak of now is all gone, It’s all been sold to a millionaire’s sonnFor a golf course and a business park, nothing to be grownnOld Burl he would cry if he could see his farm gonennRepeat Chorusn
