Farmer Loved An Onion

Farmer Brown was in love
When his parents went home
He put on a rubber glove

Farmer loved an onion
Its skin was very clear
It had so many layers
He had to shed a tear
Whenever they were touching
Whenever they were near

He'd had a great love in the past
'Twas corn on the cob
And he knew it couldn't last

Farmer loved an onion
Its skin was very clear
It had so many layers
He had to shed a tear
Whenever they were touching
Whenever they were near

His love was very real
His love had such appeal
The doctor said that he would heal
Until then, use some Salve

They went on a date to the fair
He started to flirt
With a prize-winning Bartlett pear

Farmer loved an onion
Its skin was very clear
It had so many layers
He had to shed a tear
Whenever they were touching
Whenever they were near

He gave a heartfelt plea
"Oh, won't you forgive me?"
And he got down on one knee
And he said, "Let's be wed, properly!"

Farmer Brown went to town
To buy himself a wedding gown
Farmer Brown went to town
To buy himself a wedding gown
He had hopes, as did we
They would raise a family
Farmer Brown went to town
To buy himself a wedding gown
Farmer Brown went to town
To buy himself a wedding gown
He had hopes, as did we
They would raise a family
