Mark Knopfler – Hill Farmer Blues lyrics
Im going into Tow Law
For what I need
Chain for the ripsaw
Killer for the weed
Dog's at the back door
Leave him be
Don't feed him jack
And don't wait up for me

Going into Tow Law
To fuel my fire
Shells for the 12
And razor wire
Dog's at the back door
Leave him be
Don't do jack
And don't wait up for me

So bad so bad
So bad so bad

Im going into Tow Law
To have my fun
Don't get me wrong
You were the only one
Behind my back Law
You made a fool of me
Don't do jack
And don't wait up for me

So bad so bad
So bad so bad

    This may well be about the farmers when foot and mouth was doing its worst, but it’s an allegory of Law having an affair behind her husband’s back, his hurt, his anger, going out to have his fun, don’t get me wrong, you were the only one, but she’s made a fool of her man, been unfaithful and he’s off now to have his fun, the relationship has been destroyed.
