Farmer And The Lord Lyrics - Jim Reeves

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 from the sun and 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' 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 that good Sunday dinner of hot chicken and dumplings and gravy
