Lyrics:

The first verse of this song is derived from a letter left by the owner of “the” farmhouse for Trey and Tom Marshall when they first rented the place.
Welcome, this is a farmhouse; we have cluster flies, alas
And this time of year is bad
We are so very sorry, there is little we can do
But swat them

She didn't beg, oh, not enough
She didn't stay when things got tough
I told a lie and she got mad
She wasn't there when things got bad

I never ever saw the northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies (Cluster flies, alas)
Never ever saw the stars so bright (This is a farmhouse)
In the farmhouse things will be alright
I never ever saw the northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies (Cluster flies, alas)
Never ever saw the stars so bright (This is a farmhouse)
In the farmhouse things will be alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright


Woke this morning to this stinging lash
Every man rise from the ash
Each betrayal begins with trust
Every man returns to dust

I never ever saw the northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies (Cluster flies, alas)
Never ever saw the stars so bright (This is a farmhouse)
In the farmhouse things will be alright (Cluster flies, alas)
I never ever saw the northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies (Cluster flies, alas)
Never ever saw the stars so bright (This is a farmhouse)
In the farmhouse things will be alright


I never ever saw the northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies (Cluster flies, alas)
Never ever saw the stars so bright (This is a farmhouse)
In the farmhouse things will be alright (Cluster flies, alas)
I never ever saw the northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies (Cluster flies, alas)
I never ever saw the stars so bright (This is a farmhouse)
In the farmhouse things will be alright (Cluster flies, alas)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright


Welcome, this is a farmhouse
Welcome, this is a farmhouse

I never ever saw the northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies (Cluster flies, alas)
I never ever saw the stars so bright
In the farmhouse things will be alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright (This is a farmhouse)
Northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
