The Farmer and the Lord - Jim Reeves[00:00:00]
Written by:Jim Wilson[00:00:01]
While resting one evening[00:00:19]
By the side of the road[00:00:21]
I seen an old farmer[00:00:24]
In a field he's just sowed[00:00:25]
His face was all brown[00:00:28]
And wrinkled by the wind[00:00:29]
And he was a talkin' to the Lord[00:00:32]
Just like he was talkin' to a friend[00:00:35]
Well sir he said[00:00:39]
In a voice calm and quiet[00:00:39]
Those corn tassles need sackin'[00:00:43]
But got no string to tie it[00:00:44]
Had no rain in so long[00:00:48]
That the fields is mighty dusty[00:00:49]
It's been so unbearable hot[00:00:53]
That the kids are even gettin' fussy[00:00:55]
Now that grass down in the pasture[00:01:00]
Should be knee high[00:01:01]
If we could just have a little shower Lord[00:01:05]
It might keep the cow from goin' dry[00:01:09]
Huh listen to me talkin'[00:01:12]
You'd think I were ungrateful[00:01:14]
Why if you didn't know me so you'r Lord[00:01:16]
You'd think I was down right hateful[00:01:18]
You'd think I'd forgot about[00:01:21]
The new calf that you sent[00:01:22]
The money in the mail[00:01:24]
That took care of the rent[00:01:25]
Ma's cold is better[00:01:28]
And Johnny's home from the Navy[00:01:29]
And that good Sundy dinner[00:01:31]
Of chicken dumpli's and gravy[00:01:33]
The new preacher you sent us Lord[00:01:36]
He sure is a fine young man[00:01:39]
Why he's just convertin' them sinner[00:01:41]
To beat the band[00:01:43]
Well guess I'll be mossyin' along Lord[00:01:47]
Won't take no more of your time[00:01:50]
Guess there's plenty of folks here abouts[00:01:52]
A waitin' to ring your line[00:01:53]
Evenin' of you Lord[00:01:56]
And watch over us tonighht[00:01:57]
And don't you worry about us none Lord[00:02:00]
'Cause everything is gonna be all right[00:02:02]
