Lyrics

Ain't no fence, ain't no yard
Ain't no ruts where a pickup parks
Ain't no windmill fan a turnin'
Ain't no trash out back a burnin
Ain't no tractor, ain't no plow
Ain't no bull waitin' for a cow
Ain't no mother, brother, or sister
Wavin' at Daddy on his cultivator

Chorus 1
AIN'T NO LAUGHIN, AIN'T NO CRYIN'
AIN'T NO LIVIN', AIN'T NO DYIN'
AIN'T NO ONE LOOKIN' FOR A SCHOOL BUS COMIN'
THERE AIN'T NO FAMILY ON THIS FARM ANYMORE

And there ain't no town in walkin' distance
Where you can go to do all of your business
Ain't no banker can lend you money
Ain't no grocer can sell your honey
Ain't no service station attendant
Can pump your gas and wash your windows
Ain't no neighbor can give you help
When they sell your stuff at the courthouse steps

Chorus 2
AIN'T NO LAUGHIN, AIN'T NO CRYIN'
AIN'T NO LIVIN', AIN'T NO DYIN'
AIN'T NO ONE HOPIN' TO HAVE A BANK NOTE BURNIN'
THERE AIN'T NO FAMILY ON THIS FARM ANYMORE

[Harmonica / Bridge]

Chorus 3
AIN'T NO LAUGHIN, AIN'T NO CRYIN'
AIN'T NO LIVIN', AIN'T NO DYIN'
AIN'T NO ONE LEFT TO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS
[Or to make their kids go to Baptist Training Union
Fifty-two weeks out of the year, ever' darn year
Till they're eighteen years old]
THERE AIN'T NO FAMILY ON THIS FARM ANYMORE

[Harmonica / Short Turnaround]

Chorus 4
AIN'T NO LAUGHIN, AIN'T NO CRYIN'
AIN'T NO LIVIN', AIN'T NO DYIN'
AIN'T NO ONE PRAYIN' FOR THE JUDGEMENT COMIN'
THERE AIN'T NO FAMILY ON THIS FARM ANYMORE

[Harmonica Ending]
