[Verse 1]
[Am]Out here in the fields,

[Am]wast[G]ing[Am][D]
[Am]Don't have the latest suit
[G]The long grass is my fruit
[Am]And I'm merely an ordinary man[D]
[Am]The family is [D]free[Am]
[G]To do just as [Am]they please
We all sleep together in a [D]caravan
[A]Hey [Am]you!
Don't balk [C]on the turnips
[Dm]My Lord, w[C]hen will they
ever learn [Bb]it?[Am]
[Gm]Look there, [C]nations of traveling children
