There's no finer place to me
In all the wide world round
Than when I’m digging taters
Or planting in the ground

Seeding in the Springtime
Harvesting in the Fall
Tending vines in Summer
The best times of them all

I plant me corn and carrots
Taters, herbs, and peas
Sometimes watermelons
And tomatoes, if I please

And, of course, some mushrooms
Buried deep in bark
So they grow big and juicy
Hidden in the dark

There's nothing finer to me
Than working in thе dirt
Weeding, hoeing, planting
Until your muscles hurt

It is an honest labor
Thе finest one around
Yes, there is nothing better
Than digging in the ground
