Thin Lizzy - The Farmer (Debut Single 1970) video free download
Lyrics & Information
This was the first ever official single released from the band Thin Lizzy in 1970.
I truly love it and it already exudes the confidence of Phil's songwriting and the bands tightness and talent.
Took me a while to find, as it does not appear on their debut album and in Phil's own words : "Its a real rare song so if you find it good luck to ya". Enjoy friends!
Lyrics :-
Sure do appreciate ya'll comin
Specially you Skinny Lizzy
Me and my cousin Frank
He's the one who robbed the bank
Bought some whiskey all can drank
And it's in the barn
You see Ma she's passed away
And there's not much I can say
'Cept I'd like ya all to pray
'Cause I don't know what we're gonna do, Lord help me!
Won't ya'll come again
Won't ya'll come?
Your faces keep us warm
Won't ya'll come?
Pappa sits alone
All he does is moan and groan
Moan and grooooooan
So I put on my pin-striped suit
I wouldn't fill my pockets with loot
I went lookin for the Reverand Luke
Way up north in Tennessee
Won't ya'll come again
Wont ya'll come?
Your faces keep us warm
Won't ya'll come?
[Great solo]
Ma passed away
Not much I can say
Like you all to pray
I don't know what we're gonna do, Lord help me
[Repeat chorus and fade]

They did a set made up from the first three Lizzy albums. Great to hear the early stuff again.11 years ago

Me and my son went. It was three great nights of music from approx 8:00pm to 2:30am. Utterly shattered by the end but so,so worth it. Dublin is such a nice place, all the people we met were so polite and great to talk to.11 years ago

@77dragonslayer I'd recommend starting with 'Vagabonds of the Western World'. This is truly a classic and overlooked Lizzy album.12 years ago

a mega-rarity - among lovers reached this Parlophone Records single premium prices of up to 800 €. Quite audible debut of an Irish band who years later to write songs like "The Rocker," "Whiskey in the Jar" and "Jailbreak" rock history should be.12 years ago

283 copies only were sold of this single when it came out. I like to think of it as one that few have heard, like it's my own little treasure in a way. I'd love to get my hands on a copy of the original vinyl.12 years ago

Gotta love the internet. Without it, things like this would go unheard and unappreciated . Thanks for sharing an amazing piece of musical history.Related Videos
