  37   G
  38 I pounded on a farmhouse Lookin' for a place to stay
  39
  40 I was mighty, mighty tired, I had come a long, long way
  41         C
  42 I said, &quot;Hey, hey, in there Is there anybody home ?
  43       G
  44 I was standin' on the steps, Feelin' most alone
  45       D
  46 Well, out comes a farmer He must have thought that I was nuts
  47    G
  48 He immediately looked at me and stuck a gun into my guts
  49
  50 I fell down to my bended knees
  51 Saying, &quot;I dig farmers, don't shoot me please&quot;
  52 He cocked his rifle and began to shout
  53 &quot;You're that travelin' salesman that I have heard about?&quot;
  54 I said, &quot;No! No! No! I'm a doctor and it's true
  55 I'm a clean-cut kid and I been to college too&quot;.
  56
  57 Then in comes his daughter whose name was Rita
  58 She looked like she stepped out of La Dolce Vita
  59 I immediately tried to cool it with her dad
  60 And told him what a nice, pretty farm he had
  61 He said, &quot;What do doctors know about farms, pray tell?&quot;
  62 I said, &quot;I was born at the bottom of a wishing well&quot;.
  63
  64 Well, by the dirt 'neath my nails I guess he knew I wouldn't lie
  65 He said &quot;I guess, you're tired.&quot; He said it kinda sly
  66 I said, &quot;Yes, ten thousand miles today I drove&quot;
  67 He said, &quot;I got a bed for you, underneath the stove
  68 Just one condition, You can go to sleep right now:
  69 That you don't touch my daughter and in the morning, milk the cows&quot;.
  70
  71 I was sleepin' like a rat when I heard something jerkin'
  72 There stood Rita lookin' just like Tony Perkins
  73 She said, &quot;Would you like to take a shower? I'll show you up to the door&quot;
  74 I said, &quot;Oh, no, no, I've been through this movie before
  75 I knew I had to split, but I didn't know how
  76 When she said, &quot;Would you like to take that shower now?&quot;
  77
  78 Well, I couldn't leave unless the old man chased me out
  79 'Cause I'd already promised that I'd milk his cows
  80 I had to say something to strike him very weird
  81 So I yelled: &quot;I like Fidel Castro and his beard&quot;
  82 Rita looked offended, but she got out of the way
  83 As he came charging down the stairs Sayin', &quot;What's that I heard you say?&quot;
  84
  85 I said, &quot;I like Fidel Castro! I think you heard me right&quot;
  86 And I ducked as he swung At me with all his might
  87 Rita mumbled something 'Bout her mother on the hill
  88 As his fist hit the icebox He said he's going to kill
  89 me If I don't get out of the door In two seconds flat
  90 &quot;Your unpatriotic Rotten doctor Commie rat&quot;.
  91
  92 Well, he threw a Reader's Digest at my head and I did run
  93 I did a somersault as I seen him get his gun
  94 And chrashed through the window at a hundred miles an hour
  95 And landed fully blast in his garden flowers
  96 Rita said, &quot;Come back&quot; as he started to load
  97 The sun was comin' up and I was runnin' down the road.
  98
  99 Well, I don't figure I'll be back there for a spell
 100 Even though Rita moved away and got a job in a motel
 101 He still waits for me, constant, on the sly
 102 He wants to turn me in to the FBI
 103 Me, I romp and stomp, thankful as I romp
 104         G                         C         G
 105 Without freedom of speech I might be in the swamp.
