Farmer John's daughter's messing with my sleep Oh, Lordy, all I want to do is weep From the break of day until the sun goes down I gotta keep dragging this load around I got a heavy thing for her I sure got a heavy thing for her She says 'Meet me up behind the barn I'll bring a blanket, honey, you bring the yarn' If her daddy catch us we'll be in disgrace The Devil himself is in her daddy's face I got a heavy thing for her I sure got a heavy thing for her We do the dove and the oop oop pa doo The frog, the pony and the grasshopper, too The heidi-ho and the old wheelbarrow She makes love like there's no tomorrow I got a heavy thing for her I sure got a heavy thing for her
