Biography:
The Arrogant Worms are a Canadian musical comedy trio that parodies many musical genres. They are well known for their humorous on-stage banter in addition to their music.
The Worms came together in 1991 to do a few spots on campus radio station CFRC in Kingston, Ontario, and quickly moved to doing spots on the CBC Radio One. Since 1992, the troupe has released 11 albums on their own label and one compilation album under Oglio Records. Their most recent album, Torpid, was released in late 2008.

Verse 1
G C D G
Well I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine
C Em D
I had a little stretch of land along the Cp line
G C D G
But times were tough and though I tried the money wasn’t there
C Em D
And the bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair
Bridge
Em Am
I looked for every kind of job , the answer always no
Em D
Hire you now, they’d always laugh, we just let 20 go
Em Am
The government, they promised me a measly little sum
Em D
But I’ve got too much pride to end up just another bum
C Em Am
Then I thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone
D
I’m gonna be a pirate
D
on the River Saskatchewan
Chorus
G D
And it’s a hee (Ho)! Hi (Ho!)
C Em D
Comin down the plains
C Em D
Stealin wheat and barley and all the other grains
G D
And it’s a Ho (Hey)! Hi (Hey)!
C Em D
Farmers bar your doors
Em C D G
When you see the jolly roger on regina’s mighty shores
G C D G
Well I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine
