We've been through hard times living on the land But it's the hard times that we understand There's been laughter and there's been tears But we came through those fifty years We saw the boys grow, turn into men Heard the women say it'll rain again We sang with joy, quick are the shears Yeah, we came through those fifty years Together, together, together for fifty years Dry weather, cold weather, rainy weather for fifty years Now there's grandkids and some will go No guarantees with the seeds you sow And we will nurture, tell 'em all we know We'll watch them learn and we'll watch them grow We've been through hard times living on the land But it's the hard times that we understand There's been laughter and there's been tears But we came through those fifty years Yes, we came through those fifty years
