Weed Sargent
D G D
Weed Sargent was his monicker thru out life
A
He could cut weeds better than anyone you know
D G D
With a wore- down butcher knife
A D
And his shiny bladed hoe
G D
It was a handle that Dad pinned on himself
A
As he went about cleaning fields and fence rows
D G D
He put his worries on the shelf
A D
And battled all kinds of weeds the record shows
G D
He slew hog weeds and Canadian thistle,
A
Wild mustard, slick weeds and nightshades
D G D
Volunteer corn smart weeds and sissle
A D
Along with cockle burr,with his sharp blades
G D
Nary a weed could escape his sharp eye
A
Quick and clean with knife and tapered hoe
D G D
Keep up with him, no one would try
A D
Clean fields and fence rows his trademark, his logo
G D
Yes, Weed Sargent was his monicker thru out life
A
He could cut weeds better than anyone you know
D G D
With his worn-down butcher knife
A D
And his shiny bladed hoe.
