[Intro]
[Verse]
I sailed with Miss Columbus for a trip across the sea
The horizon was behind me when I found that I was free
I smashed the glass I drank from, drove it deep into my arm
Tell me how do you feel, now you re back on the farm?
[Verse]
She put me on the periscope and told me she was lost
She said she was expensive, but I did not mind the cost
I said her deep-sea diver did not mean her any harm
Tell me how do you feel, now you re back on the farm?
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
I rang the bell of freedom
Drank from the well of plenty
The milk of human kindness
Was succour to my soul
I took her to the masthead
And showed her my conditions
She promised me the cargo
That she carried in her hold
[Verse]
The sails were set for sunrise when we found the wind had dropped
I tried to make the time up, but the clock had somehow stopped
A fire broke out below the decks and I sounded the alarm
Tell me how do you feel, now you re back on the farm?
[Verse]
Now you might think it strange of me to write to you this way
For years I was a farmer, but I could not make it pay
Yet here I am a sailor and I feel a sense of calm
Tell me how do you feel, now you re back on the farm?
Tell me how do you feel, now you re back on the farm?
