8. Farmer Brown, words and music by Joanie Calem © June, 2007

Oh Farmer Brown had an old brown hat, an old brown hat, an old brown hat,
Yes Farmer Brown had an old brown hat, until the wind blew it away.

So, Farmer Brown went to look for her hat, she went to look for her hat, she went to look for her hat,
Farmer Brown went to look for her hat, she couldn’t find it though she looked all day.

So, Farmer Brown asked the little goat, “Have you seen my hat? Have you seen my hat?”
“No,” said little goat, “I haven’t seen your hat, I saw a tasty flowerpot, but it blew away!”

So, Farmer Brown asked the little duck, “Have you seen my hat? Have you seen my hat?”
“No,” said little duck, “I haven’t seen your hat, I saw a strange, brown boat, but it blew away!”

So, Farmer Brown asked the little mouse, “Have you seen my hat? Have you seen my hat?”
“No,” said little mouse, “I haven’t seen your hat, I saw a big, mouse hole, but it blew away!”

So, Farmer Brown asked the little fly, “Have you seen my hat? Have you seen my hat?”
“No,” said little fly, “I haven’t seen your hat, I saw a big, brown hill, but it blew away!”

So, Farmer Brown asked the little bird, “Have you seen my hat? Have you seen my hat?”
“No,” said little bird, “I haven’t seen your hat, but I found a great new nest to lay my eggs!

Well Farmer Brown looked at little bird’s nest , looked a lot like her hat, looked a lot like her hat.
Farmer Brown looked at little bird’s nest, and said “What a great, place to lay your eggs!”

So, Farmer Brown got another hat, another hat, another hat,
Yes, Farmer Brown bought a new, brown hat, and made sure the wind didn’t blow it away.
