《Look at Them Beans [1975](Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Look at Them Beans (1975) - Jarrod

[00:00:11] This time last year there sure was

[00:00:13] A lot of sad faces around this old house

[00:00:16] Our papa died without fulfillin' his life's dream

[00:00:18] Of producing one of

[00:00:19] The best crops in Grimes County

[00:00:22] Though papa died with

[00:00:23] That dream still in his head

[00:00:25] A desire in his heart

[00:00:27] A promise on his lips

[00:00:28] Calluses on both hands

[00:00:28] And two dollars in his pocket

[00:00:30] Papa didn't live long enough

[00:00:32] To see his dreams come true

[00:00:33] So he died from too much work

[00:00:35] Broken spirit I guess

[00:00:36] But I promised our mama that if

[00:00:39] It was a last thing he'd ever do

[00:00:40] He'd live long enough to see just

[00:00:42] One good crop come through

[00:00:44] But you see we can't plan on

[00:00:46] Things without first talking to God

[00:00:48] Because we don't know his plans

[00:00:51] And if we don't include him my friends

[00:00:52] The way can get mighty hard

[00:00:55] They say that every time a good and righteous person

[00:00:57] Is buried in God's good earth

[00:00:58] It's just fertilizer for the soil

[00:01:02] And I guess there must be some truth to that

[00:01:04] Whether we believe it or not

[00:01:07] I just wish that papa was here right now

[00:01:09] So that he could see this

[00:01:10] Good crop that we finally got

[00:01:12] Hey look at that beans and look at that corn

[00:01:18] And I bet them watermelons must be three feet long

[00:01:22] Man look at them tomatoes and look at them peas

[00:01:28] Well I know if papa was here

[00:01:30] Right now he'd sure be pleased

[00:01:42] And papa would sure be proud of his children too

[00:01:47] My brother's famous now got his own show on the road

[00:01:50] Traveling in customized bus imported from Europe

[00:01:54] That boy always did love music and he loves to travel

[00:01:58] I got a sister that's got a good job in a beauty shop

[00:02:01] Making money making other people look good

[00:02:06] Ain't nobody here at a house now but me and mama

[00:02:10] And mama she's gettin' weaker

[00:02:11] And she's gettin' older every day

[00:02:14] And she talks softly about

[00:02:15] Joinin' papa in his heavenly home

[00:02:18] But that woman sure did love that man

[00:02:20] She worked beside papa

[00:02:21] For forty some odd years

[00:02:22] Tryin' to produce a good crop

[00:02:25] And never could grow a single bean

[00:02:31] But I just wish that papa was here right now

[00:02:33] To see this good crop that we finally got

[00:02:37] Man look at that beans and look at that corn

[00:02:42] And I bet them watermelons

[00:02:44] Must be three feet long

[00:02:47] Man look at them tomatoes and look at them peas

[00:02:52] Well I know if papa was

[00:02:54] Here right now he'd sure be pleased

[00:03:00] And papa if you can hear me look at them beans
