[00:00.00]The Farmer And The Lord - Jimmy Dean
[00:11.31]I was resting the other evening
[00:12.82]By the side of the road
[00:14.81]I saw an old farmer in the field
[00:17.39]That he just hold
[00:19.50]His face was all brown and wrinkled
[00:22.48]By the sun and the wind
[00:26.37]And he was talking to the Lord
[00:27.97]Just like he'd be talking to a friend
[00:33.59]Well he said with his voice calm and quiet
[00:37.72]Them corn tassels need sucking
[00:40.75]I got no strength to tie it
[00:44.05]Had no rain in so long
[00:45.46]That the fields are mighty dusty
[00:49.69]And it's been so unbearable hot
[00:51.54]That the kids were even gettin' fussy
[00:56.07]Now that grass down and the pasture
[00:58.06]It should be knee high if we
[01:01.35]Could just have a little shower Lord
[01:04.72]It might keep the calf from going dry
[01:08.44]Oh but listen to me talking
[01:10.93]You'd think I wasn't grateful why if you
[01:14.07]Didn't know me so well Lord
[01:15.10]You'd think I was down right hateful
[01:18.01]You'd think I forgot about
[01:19.22]That new calf that you sent
[01:21.48]And the money in the mail
[01:22.83]That took care of the rent
[01:25.33]Mama's cough's better
[01:27.41]And Johnny's home from the navy
[01:29.84]And that good Sunday dinner of hot chicken
[01:32.35]And dumplings and gravy
[01:35.91]And that new preacher you sent us
[01:37.63]Lord he's sure a fine young man
[01:42.09]Why he's just convertin' them sinners
[01:44.00]To beat the man
[01:46.98]Well I guess I'll mosey on home now
[01:51.16]Lord I won't take no more your time
[01:54.86]I guess there's plenty folks here
[01:56.35]About waitin' to ring your line
[02:00.66]Evening to you Lord and watch us over tonight
[02:04.22]Don't you worry about us now Lord
[02:06.52]'Cause everything is gonna be all right
