Thanks Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Bill Martin - Phil Coulter) 

Sunday morning in the valley 

We would gather for the service 

Emmily Jane would run to meet me 

She'd smile at papa kinda nervous. 

All the people came from miles around 

I can still hear the sound. 

As they sang thanks to the Lord 

For the sun up in the sky 

For the corn that's growing high 

And for the child that didn't die.

Thanks to the Lord 

For the crops and for the farm 

For the satrenght in my right arm 

And for keepin' us from harm. 

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks 

Thanks to the Lord for a girl like Emmily Jane. 

--- Instrumental --- 

Came the day that we were married 

All our folks from the congregation 

Emmily Jane was like an angel 

The sweetest thing in all creation. 

Papa hugged me and my mama cried 

everybody smiled with pride.
