《The Farmer And The Lord》歌词

[00:00:00] Farmer and the Lord - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)

[00:00:20] While resting the other evening

[00:00:22] By the side of the road

[00:00:25] I saw an old farmer

[00:00:26] In the field that he just hold

[00:00:29] His face was all brown and wrinkled

[00:00:31] By the wind

[00:00:33] And he was talking to the Lord

[00:00:35] Just like he'd be talking to a friend

[00:00:39] Well sir he said

[00:00:40] With his voice calm and quiet

[00:00:44] Them corn tassels need suckin'

[00:00:45] But I got no strength to tie it

[00:00:49] Had no rain in so long

[00:00:50] That the fields are mighty dusty

[00:00:54] And it's been so unbearable hot

[00:00:55] That the kids were even gettin' fussy

[00:01:01] Now that grass down

[00:01:02] And the pasture it should be knee high

[00:01:06] If we could just have a little shower Lord

[00:01:10] It might keep the calf from going dry

[00:01:13] Oh but listen to me

[00:01:15] Talking you'd think I wasn't grateful

[00:01:17] Why if you didn't know me so well

[00:01:19] Lord you'd think I was down right

[00:01:21] Hateful

[00:01:22] You'd think I forgot about

[00:01:23] That new calf that you sent

[00:01:25] And the money in the mail

[00:01:27] That took care of the rent

[00:01:29] Mama's cough's better

[00:01:30] And Johnny's home from the navy

[00:01:32] And that good Sunday dinner of hot chicken

[00:01:35] And dumplings and gravy

[00:01:37] And that new preacher you sent us Lord

[00:01:40] He's sure a fine young man

[00:01:43] Why he's just convertin' them

[00:01:44] Sinners to beat the bad

[00:01:47] Well guess I'll be more mosey now Lord

[00:01:51] I won't take no more your time

[00:01:53] Guess there's plenty folks here

[00:01:54] About waitin' to ring your line

[00:01:57] Evening to you Lord

[00:01:58] And watch us over tonight

[00:02:01] And don't you worry about us now Lord

[00:02:03] Cause everything is gonna be all right
