The Farmer and the Lord - Jimmy Dean[00:00:00]
I was resting the other evening[00:00:11]
By the side of the road [00:00:12]
I saw an old farmer in the field[00:00:14]
That he just hold [00:00:17]
His face was all brown and wrinkled[00:00:19]
By the sun and the wind [00:00:22]
And he was talking to the Lord[00:00:26]
Just like he'd be talking to a friend [00:00:28]
Well he said with his voice calm and quiet[00:00:33]
Them corn tassels need sucking [00:00:37]
I got no strength to tie it [00:00:40]
Had no rain in so long[00:00:44]
That the fields are mighty dusty [00:00:45]
And it's been so unbearable hot[00:00:49]
That the kids were even gettin' fussy [00:00:51]
Now that grass down and the pasture[00:00:56]
It should be knee high if we [00:00:58]
Could just have a little shower Lord[00:01:01]
It might keep the calf from going dry [00:01:04]
Oh but listen to me talking [00:01:08]
You'd think I wasn't grateful why if you [00:01:11]
Didn't know me so well Lord[00:01:14]
You'd think I was down right hateful [00:01:15]
You'd think I forgot about[00:01:18]
That new calf that you sent [00:01:19]
And the money in the mail[00:01:21]
That took care of the rent [00:01:22]
Mama's cough's better[00:01:25]
And Johnny's home from the navy [00:01:27]
And that good Sunday dinner of hot chicken[00:01:29]
And dumplings and gravy [00:01:32]
And that new preacher you sent us [00:01:36]
Lord he's sure a fine young man [00:01:37]
Why he's just convertin' them sinners[00:01:42]
To beat the man [00:01:44]
Well I guess I'll mosey on home now [00:01:47]
Lord I won't take no more your time [00:01:51]
I guess there's plenty folks here[00:01:54]
About waitin' to ring your line [00:01:56]
Evening to you Lord and watch us over tonight [00:02:00]
Don't you worry about us now Lord [00:02:04]
'Cause everything is gonna be all right[00:02:06]
