Farmers Rights

Tune: Onward Christian Soldiers
Songwriter: Rose DeShaw
Gaggle: Kingston
Business & Economy

Let us give foreverThe right to save their seeds
To our nation’s farmers
Wherever they may be
Right to reuse and select
Right to sell & trade
No changes to tradition
That a farmer’s hard work made

CHORUS
Enshrine their rights forever
In-alien-able
No restricting seed use
Free & plentiful

V2) Age-old farmer’s custom
Was to save their seeds
Corporate change is seeking
To criminalize the deed
Impeding innovation
Taking over all
Already farmer’s numbers
Are growing very small

CHORUS
