《The Farmer And The Lord》歌词

[00:00:00] The Farmer And The Lord-Jim Reeves

[00:00:19] While resting the other evening by the side of the road

[00:00:24] I saw an old farmer in the field that he just sowed

[00:00:28] His face was all brown and wrinkled from the sun and the wind

[00:00:32] And he was talking to the Lord just like he'd be talking to a friend

[00:00:38] Well sir he said with his voice calm and quiet

[00:00:43] Them corn tassels need stackin' I got no strenght to tie it

[00:00:48] Had no rain in so long that the fields are mighty dusty

[00:00:53] And it's been so unbearable hot that the kids were even gettin' fussy

[00:00:59] Now that grass down and the pasture it should be knee high

[00:01:05] If we could just have a little shower Lord

[00:01:09] It might keep the calf from going dry

[00:01:12] Oh but listen to me talking you'd think I wasn't grateful

[00:01:16] Why if you didn't know me so well Lord

[00:01:18] You'd think I was down right hateful

[00:01:21] You'd think I frogot about that new calf that you sent

[00:01:23] And the money in the mail that took care of the rent

[00:01:28] Mama's cough's better and Johnny's home from the navy

[00:01:31] And that good Sunday dinner of chicken and dumplings and gravy

[00:01:36] And that new preacher you sent us Lord he's sure a fine young man

[00:01:41] Why he's just convertin' them sinners to beat the band

[00:01:46] Well guess I'll mosey on home now Lord

[00:01:49] I won't take no more your time

[00:01:51] Guess there's plenty folks here about waitin' to ring your line

[00:01:55] Evening to you Lord and watch us over tonight

[00:01:59] And don't you worry about us now Lord

[00:02:01] 'Cause everything is gonna be all right
