THE TANNOT FARMER
ttto: The Bold Tenant Farmer (trad)
(Corrected from the post on rec.music.filk, before I found out it was "tannot" and not "tenant.")

On an uncharted world we will toil all day long
To work on the harvest with back and hands strong
Tomorrow's a rest day, so tonight food and song
Will carry us on to the morning

[Use traditional chorus (such as it is) or just hum it]

Next day right back to the fields we will go
Perhaps with new workers we do not yet know
To dig up the tannot root from down below
For the rest day tomorrow we're waiting

For tomorrow's rest day we will party tonight
And those who resist will all go out of sight
And the Peace Keepers never roam near this place, right?
So for tannot root we'll keep digging

Outsiders come and they never do go
They all come to harvest the tannot we grow
Day after day, rest day tomorrow
That's the lot of the good tannot farmer
