THE HIGHWAY SONG Lyrics

FRASER/KOSSOFF




So we started in the cornfield 
and I know we did not slack 
we got everything in order 
but we forgot to bring the bucket back 
the foreman he went crazy 
and ran around the field 
said we must be lazy 
had to be seen to be believed 
seen to be believed. 

But it was a long way 
from this highroad 
it was a far away from here. 

The farmer had a daughter 
and she worked at the wishing well 
put one leg in the water 
'til she found the mission bell 
the old man went crazy 
and ran to get his gun 
we had a bad time explaining 
we were just having drunken fun 
Just having drunken fun. 

But it was a long way 
from this high road, Oh! 
it was a long way from here 
so we walked along this road 
just tellin' stories as we go 
We just walk along. 
  

Well the farmer had a daughter 
and she did not speak a word 
we used to kiss her in the orchard 
till one morning we were overheard 
the old man he went crazy 
running around the field 
said we must be crazy 
had to be seen to be believed 
seen to be believed.
