lyrics

I got my hay bailed, I'm going to take it,
All the way down the A38,
Ain’t going fast ‘cause I’m driving my tractor,
And everybody else will just have to wait.

[chorus] Driving down the road with a gert load of hay,
The cars queue up coz I’m in their way,
Somerset farmers, we never drive fast,
Enjoy the view folks, ‘cause you ain’t getting past,
Thank you John Deere, for giving me the power,
To drive around the countryside at five miles an hour.

Goin’ up a hill, and we’s gotta slow down now,
Reckon that queue’s about a mile and a half,
Lookin’ in the mirror at those angry red faces,
I knows I really shouldn’t but I’z just gotta laugh.

[chorus]

Just around the corner, there’s a straight road ahead now,
You can roar past me like a hurricane,
But as you pull out – there, coming straight for you,
A gert big tractor in the opposite lane. [“morning Joe!”]

[chorus]

So next time you drive though the country,
And you’ve got stuck in a ruddy long queue,
Right up front, in a dirty great tractor,
That’ll be me there, laughing at you! (“ha-ha-ha!”)

[chorus]
