The Farmer and the Lord - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)

While resting the other evening

By the side of the road

I saw an old farmer

In the field that he just hold

His face was all brown and wrinkled

By the wind

And he was talking to the Lord

Just like he'd be talking to a friend

Well sir he said

With his voice calm and quiet

Them corn tassels need suckin'

But I got no strength to tie it

Had no rain in so long

That the fields are mighty dusty

And it's been so unbearable hot

That the kids were even gettin' fussy

Now that grass down

And the pasture it should be knee high

If we could just have a little shower Lord

It might keep the calf from going dry

Oh but listen to me

Talking you'd think I wasn't grateful

Why if you didn't know me so well

Lord you'd think I was down right

Hateful

You'd think I forgot about

That new calf that you sent

And the money in the mail

That took care of the rent

Mama's cough's better

And Johnny's home from the navy

And that good Sunday dinner of hot chicken

And dumplings and gravy

And that new preacher you sent us Lord

He's sure a fine young man

Why he's just convertin' them

Sinners to beat the bad

Well guess I'll be more mosey now Lord

I won't take no more your time

Guess there's plenty folks here

About waitin' to ring your line

Evening to you Lord

And watch us over tonight

And don't you worry about us now Lord

Cause everything is gonna be all right
