about

The Flying Farmer is an homage to our neighbor farmer Will Ameden. It’s inconceivable to imagine being a farmer without having a multiplicity of skills and the capacity to conjure solutions for any problem that might arise on a daily basis on the average farm. This particular farmer was once a commercial pilot, and upon moving to Cabot built an airstrip and a hanger for his Cessna on the hill above his farm.

lyrics

The Flying Farmer

Up on top of Ducharme Hill, there’s a farmer that I know
With big grin at the ready, he’s always on the go

Underneath Orion, beneath a coat of stars
There's a pilot on his ATV, flying cross the farm

High upon a hayfield, there’s a grassy airstrip where
A Cessna’s in the hanger, waiting to take the air

My feet are planted on the ground
But my heart is high above the clouds
Roots so deep you couldn’t pull me out
The endless blue is all around

He says, I sugar in the springtime, press cider in the Fall
Summers I'm on the hillside with the brush hog

Wintertime’s for shop work / hitch up the snow plow
Spend time with friends and family
We make it happen somehow
​
He says, all I really want to do is get up in the sky
Set my bearings by the Camels Hump
That’s where I’m gonna fly
​
