1
While resting the one evening by the side of the road
2
I saw an old farmer in the field that he just ploughed
3
His face was all brown and wrinkled by the wind
4
And he was talking to the Lord just like he'd be talking to a friend
5
Well sir he said with his voice calm and quiet
6
Them corn tassels need stackin and I got no strenght to tie it
7
Had no rain in so long that the fields are mighty dusty
8
And it's been so unbearable hot that the kids were even gettin' fussy
9
Now that grass down the pasture should be knee high
10
If we could just have a little shower Lord it might keep the calf from going dry
11
Oh but listen to me talking you'd think I wasn't grateful
12
Why if you didn't know me so well Lord you'd think I was down right hateful
13
You'd think I forgot about that new calf that you sent
14
And the money in the mail that took care of the rent
15
Ma's cold's better and Johnny's home from the navy
16
And that good Sunday dinner of hot chicken and dumplings and gravy
17
And that new preacher you sent us Lord he's sure a fine young man
18
Why he's just convertin' them sinners to beat the band
19
Well guess I'll mosey on home now Lord I won't take no more your time
20
Guess there's plenty folks here about waitin' to ring your line
21
Evening to you lord and watch over us tonight
22
And don't you worry about us now Lord cause everything is gonna be all right
