We are an Amish Band We Are An Amish Band

Out in the fields for forty days
Plowing and planting
And raking the hay
My mule Ezra
Is pulling the plow
I got him from Carl
For some eggs and a cow

I work all day out in the sun
but after the meal
We start to have some fun
I say c'mon Gretta
And light the lamps
We're making lots of noise
But we don't got no amps

We are an Amish band
We are an Amish band
We'll help you build a barn
We just don't give a darn
We are an Amish band

The women folk up in Napanee
Are working the churn
For Graeber Barry and me
Sweet sweet butter
Fresh baked pies
The smell of their cider
'Bout to make me high

Now these young maidens
They had a plan
They was out to meet us
Boys in the band they said
The Parson's gone now's our chance
And we proceeded to have
A big square dance

We are an Amish band
We are an Amish band
We'll help you build a barn
We just don't give a darn
We are the Amish band

We are the Amish band
We are the Amish band
We'll stay all night and play
But first we must pray
We are the Amish band

We are the Amish band
