The Farmer And The Lord - Jimmy Dean[00:00:00]
Written by:J Wilson/E. Van Alstyne[00:00:01]
While resting the other evening by the side of the road[00:00:05]
I saw an old farmer in the field that he just hold[00:00:11]
His face was all brown and wrinkled by the sun[00:00:16]
And the wind[00:00:19]
And he was talking to the Lord[00:00:23]
Just like he'd be talking to a friend[00:00:24]
Well he said with his voice calm and quiet[00:00:31]
Them corn tassels need sucking[00:00:37]
I got no strength to tie it[00:00:40]
Had no rain in so long that the fields are mighty dusty[00:00:44]
And[00:00:47]
Well it's been so unbearable hot that[00:00:48]
The kids were even gettin fussy[00:00:50]
Now that grass down and the pasture[00:00:54]
It should be knee high[00:00:56]
If we could just have a little shower Lord[00:01:00]
It might keep the calf from going dry[00:01:03]
Oh but listen to me talking[00:01:08]
You'd think I wasn't grateful[00:01:12]
Why if you didn't know me so well Lord[00:01:15]
You'd think I was down right hateful[00:01:17]
You'd think I forgot about that[00:01:20]
New calf that you sent[00:01:22]
And the money in the mail[00:01:24]
That took care of the rent[00:01:25]
Mama's cough's better[00:01:29]
And Johnny's home from the navy[00:01:32]
And that good Sunday dinner of[00:01:35]
Hot chicken dumplings and gravy[00:01:37]
And that new preacher you sent us Lord[00:01:42]
He's sure a fine young man[00:01:45]
Why he's just convertin them[00:01:49]
Sinners to beat the man[00:01:50]
Well I[00:01:56]
I guess I'll mosey on home now Lord[00:01:58]
I won't take no more your time[00:02:00]
I guess there's plenty folks[00:02:03]
Here about waiting to ring your line[00:02:05]
Evening to you Lord[00:02:09]
And watch us over tonight[00:02:12]
Don't you worry about us now Lord[00:02:16]
'Cause[00:02:18]
Everything is gonna be all right[00:02:19]
