Farmer And The Lord

<br>I was resting one evening by the side of the road <br>When I saw an old farmer in a field he had just hoed<br>His face was brown and all wrinkled by the sun and the wind<br>And he was talking to the Lord <br>Just like he would be talking to a friend<br>&amp;quot;Well sir&amp;quot; he said with a voice calm and quiet<br>&amp;quot;Them corn tassels need sacking and I ain`t got no string to tie it<br>Hadn`t rained in so long the fields are mighty dusty<br>It`s been so unbearable hot that the kids are even getting fussy<br>Now that grass down in the pasture it should be knee high<br>If we could just have a little shower Lord<br>It might keep the cow from going dry<br>Ah but listen to me talking Lord<br>You`d think I wasn`t grateful<br>Well you`d probably think I was down right hateful<br>You`d think I forgot about that new calf that you sent<br>And the money that came in the mail that took care of the rent<br>Maw`s cold is better and Johnny is home from the navy<br>Oh that good Sunday dinner of chicken and dumplings and gravy<br>And that new preacher you sent us he sure is a fine young man<br>Why he is just converting them sinners to beat the ban<br>Well I guess I`ll mossy on home now Lord <br>I`ll not take no more of your time<br>I guess there are plenty of folks there about waiting to ring your line<br>`Evening to you Lord and watch over us tonight <br>And don`t you worry about us none Lord<br>No Sir because everything is going to be all right
