[Verse 1]
GI pounded on a farmhouse lookin' for a place to stay
I was mighty, mighty tired I had come a long, long way
I said "HCey hey in there is there anybody home?"
I was staGndin' on the steps feelin' most alone
When oDut comes a farmer he must have thought that I was nuts
He immeGdiately looked at me and stuck a gun into my guts
[Verse 2]
GI fell down to my bended knees
Saying "I dig farmers don't shoot me, please"
He coCcked his rifle and began to shout
"Are you that trGavelin' salesman that I have heard about?"
I said "DNo, no, no I'm a doctor and it's true
I'm a clGean-cut kid and I been to college too"
[Verse 3]
GThen in comes his daughter whose name was Rita
She looked like she stepped out of La Dolce Vita
I immediaCtely tried to cool it with her dad
And toGld him what a nice pretty farm he had
He said "WhDat do doctors know about farms, pray tell?"
I said "I was bGorn at the bottom of a wishing well"
[Verse 4]
GWell, by the dirt 'neath my nails I guess he knew I wouldn't lie
He said "I guess you're tired" He said it kind of sly
I said "YCes, ten thousand miles today I drove"
He said "GI got a bed for you underneath the stove
JuDst one condition you can go to sleep right now
That you dGon't touch my daughter and in the morning, milk the cows"
[Verse 5]
GI was sleepin' like a rat when I heard something jerkin'
There stood Rita lookin' just like Tony Perkins
ShCe said "Would you like to take a shower? I'll show you up to the door"
I said "OGh, no, no I've been through this movie before"
I knDew I had to split but I did not know how
When she saGid "Would you like to take that shower now?"
[Verse 6]
GWell, I couldn't leave unless the old man chased me out
'Cause I'd already promised that I'd milk his cows
I hCad to say something to strike him very weird
So I yGelled "I like Fidel Castro and his beard"
RitDa looked offended but she got out of the way
As he caGme charging down the stairs sayin' "What's that I heard you say?"
[Verse 7]
GI said, "I like Fidel Castro I think you heard me right"
And I ducked as he swung at me with all his might
RitCa mumbled something 'Bout her mother on the hill
As his fGist, it hit the icebox he said he's going to kill
MDe if I don't get out the door in two seconds flat
"You uGnpatriotic Rotten doctor Commie rat"
[Verse 8]
GWell, he threw a Reader's Digest at my head and I did run
I did a somersault as I seen him get his gun
And cCrashed through the window at a hundred miles an hour
And lGanded fully blast in his garden flowers
RiDta said "Come back" and he started to load
The sGun was comin' up and I was runnin' down the road
[Verse 9]
GWell, I don't figure I'll be back there for a spell
Even though Rita moved away and got a job at a motel
He stCill waits for me constant on the sly
He waGnts to turn me in to the F.B.I
MDe, I romp and stompings thankful as I romp
Without Gfreedom of speech I might be in the swamp
