《The Farmer and the Lord》歌词

[00:00:00] The Farmer and the Lord - Jimmy Dean

[00:00:11] While resting the other evening by the side of the road

[00:00:14] I saw an old farmer in the field that he just hold

[00:00:19] His face was all brown and wrinkled by the sun and the wind

[00:00:25] And he was talking to the Lord just like he'd be talking to a friend

[00:00:33] Well she said with his voice calm and quiet

[00:00:37] Them corn tassels need sucking I got no strength to tie it

[00:00:43] Had no rain in so long that the fields are mighty dusty

[00:00:49] And it's been so unbearable hot that the kids were even getting fussy

[00:00:55] Now that grass down and the pasture it should be knee high

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

[00:01:04] It might keep the calf from going dry

[00:01:08] Oh but listen to me talking you'd think I wasn't grateful

[00:01:13] Why if you didn't know me so well Lord you'd think

[00:01:15] I was down right hateful

[00:01:17] You'd think I forgot about that new calf that you sent

[00:01:21] And the money in the mail that took care of the rent

[00:01:25] Mama's cough's better and johnny's home from the navy

[00:01:29] And that good sunday dinner of hot chicken and dumplings and gravy

[00:01:35] 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 man

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

[00:01:52] I won't take no more your time

[00:01:54] I guess there's plenty folks here about waiting to ring your line

[00:02:00] Evening to you Lord and watch us over tonight

[00:02:03] Don't you worry about us now Lord cause everything is gonna be all right
