Farmer the The Lord - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]
While resting the other evening[00:00:20]
By the side of the road[00:00:22]
I saw an old farmer[00:00:25]
In the field that he just hold[00:00:26]
His face was all brown and wrinkled[00:00:29]
By the wind[00:00:31]
And he was talking to the Lord[00:00:33]
Just like he'd be talking to a friend[00:00:35]
Well sir he said[00:00:39]
With his voice calm and quiet[00:00:40]
Them corn tassels need suckin'[00:00:44]
But I got no strength to tie it[00:00:45]
Had no rain in so long[00:00:49]
That the fields are mighty dusty[00:00:50]
And it's been so unbearable hot[00:00:54]
That the kids were even gettin' fussy[00:00:55]
Now that grass down[00:01:01]
And the pasture it should be knee high[00:01:02]
If we could just have a little shower Lord[00:01:06]
It might keep the calf from going dry[00:01:10]
Oh but listen to me[00:01:13]
Talking you'd think I wasn't grateful[00:01:15]
Why if you didn't know me so well[00:01:17]
Lord you'd think I was down right[00:01:19]
Hateful[00:01:21]
You'd think I forgot about[00:01:22]
That new calf that you sent[00:01:23]
And the money in the mail[00:01:25]
That took care of the rent[00:01:27]
Mama's cough's better[00:01:29]
And Johnny's home from the navy[00:01:30]
And that good Sunday dinner of hot chicken[00:01:32]
And dumplings and gravy[00:01:35]
And that new preacher you sent us Lord[00:01:37]
He's sure a fine young man[00:01:40]
Why he's just convertin' them[00:01:43]
Sinners to beat the bad[00:01:44]
Well guess I'll be more mosey now Lord[00:01:47]
I won't take no more your time[00:01:51]
Guess there's plenty folks here[00:01:53]
About waitin' to ring your line[00:01:54]
Evening to you Lord[00:01:57]
And watch us over tonight[00:01:58]
And don't you worry about us now Lord[00:02:01]
Cause everything is gonna be all right[00:02:03]
