Drought Lyrics - Dave Dudley

(You can dam out the water and shut the wind out) 

But a man ain't been born who can destroy a drought 

There's a hot screaming wind at my door but I just don't care anymore 

There's a crop killing drought on the way and my good woman she left me today 

Oh she stayed just as long as she could but then the farm has not treated us good 

She begged me to pack up and go but then farming is all that I know 

You can dam out the water... 

She cried as if I were to blame but the Lord knows I can't make it rain 

There's a hot screaming sun up in the sky it's so still I can hear the grass die 

So I'll wait for the coolness of dark and bear up to this pain in my heart 

And I'll pray with the coming of each dawn that this crop killing drought will be gone 

You can dam out the water...
