How You Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm - Andrew Bird

Tabbed by: Travis
Dm C
Reuben, Reuben, I�ve been thinking,�
Eb Bb
said his wifey dear;
Dm C
�Now that all is peaceful and calm,
Eb Bb
soon our boys will be back on the farm.�
F C
Mister Reuben started winking,
Eb Bb
and slowly rubbed his chin;
Dm/Bb
he pulled his chair up close to Mother,
A C
asked her with a grin:
F D F D
How ya gonna keep 'em down, oh no?
F D F D
How ya gonna keep 'em down, oh no, oh no
Bb F
How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway?
Bb
Jazzin' around,
F
and painting the town?
Bb
How ya gonna keep 'em
F
away from harm?
A Bb
That�s the mystery;
F
They�ll never want to see a rake or a plow,
Bb G7
and who the deuce can parley-vous a cow?
F Bb
And how ya gonna keep �em down on the farm
A Bb
after they�ve seen Paris?
�Reuben, Reuben, you�re mistaken,�
said his wifey dear;
�Once a farmer, always a jay, and
farmers always stick to the hay.�
�Mother Reuben, I�m not fakin',
though you may think it strange.
But wine and women play the mischief,
with a boy who�s loose with change!�
Oh, how ya gonna keep �em down,
oh no, oh no
oh, how ya gonna keep 'em down?
How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway?
Jazzin' around,
and painting the town?
How ya gonna keep �em away from harm?
that�s the mystery
Imagine Reuben when he meets his pa;
he'll pinch his cheek and holler "Ooh la la!"
How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm
after they've seen Paris, Paris?
