lyrics

Hey Sonja – oh, won't ya
take me with you to your
uncle's farm today.
Put me on machinery,
I'll show your family that
I can ‘pull my weight’.
Emma and Einer will
see there's no one finer
to take your love away.

Skin them rabbits and
break bad habits, and
work real hard,
raise the kids, hand it down.
E-I-O I'd love to love you,
but there's dues I gotta pay.

Ride into town with your
older brothers gets me
a veiled third degree.
Asks one my income
through a question ‘bout
the tough economy.
In town, the word’s round that
Sonja's suitor does
come from the city.

Skin them rabbits and
break bad habits, and
work real hard,
raise the kids, hand it down.
E-I-O I'd love to love you,
but there's dues I gotta pay.

Supper time at the table
mamma Emma piles it;
I can't find my plate.
Brother’s going at it over
politics and market.
“Watch your language boys.”
Grandma, she don't say too much; she
kinda looks me over
gets up and winds the clock.
Bedtime I'm shown the sofa,
Sonja gets her old room.
I steal a kiss, say goodnight;
down comes the darkness.

E-I-O I'd love to love you
but there's dues I gotta pay.

Hey Sonja – oh, won't ya
take me with you to your
uncle's farm today.
