I am looking for the lyrics of another similar song which has words somewhat like this..."to the wheat fields, to the corn fields, where the yield is all too low; comes a farmer....da da daa daa, daa da daa daa...UNO.

Alas, I don't think we had a patois in common. But he had a Bible the size of a Buick beside him and held on hard. Man, life is weird. Thanks for finally explaining the lyrics.
