[C] resting one evening by the side of the road, [D] I saw an old farmer in a field [D] he just held.
[G] [C] His face was all brown and wrinkled by the sun and the wind.
[C] [F]
And he was talking to the Lord just like he'd be talking to a friend.
[D]
Well, Sri said with his voice [B] calm and [G] quiet, them corn tassels need sacking.
Got no strain to [F] tie it.
Hadn't it rained in so long that the field is mighty dusty.
And it's been so unbearable hot [F] that the kids is even getting fussy.
[C]
[G] Now that grass down in the pasture, it should be knee high.
If [D] we could just have [C] a little shower, [F] Lord, [G] it might [F] keep the cow from going dry.
[C] Oh, but listen to me talking.
You'd think I wasn't grateful.
Why if you [N] didn't know me so well, Lord, I'd be grateful.
