(Spoken)
While restin' one evenin'
by the side of the road

lseen an old farmer
in a field he'd just hoed.
His face was all brown
and wrinkled by the wind.
And he was talkin' to the Lord

just like he'd be talkin'
to a friend.
Well Sir, he said,
in a voice calm and quiet,
Them com tassels need

sackin' but got no string
to tie it.
Had no rain
in so long that the fields
is mighty dusty.
And it's been so unbearable
hot that the kids are even
gettin' fussy.
Now that grass down
in the pasture should be
knee high. If we could just
have a little shower, Lord,
it might keep the cow
from goin' dry.
Huh, listen to me talkin'
You'd think I weren't grateful.
Why if you didn't know me
so well, Lord, you'd think I was
downright hateful.
You'd think I'd forgot 'bout
that new calf that You sent.
The money in the mail

that took care of the rent.
Ma's cold is is better, and
Johnny's home from the Navy
And that good Sunday dinner

of chicken, dumplin's
and gravy, He He...
The new preacher
You sent us, Lord, he sure is
a fine young man
Why He's just convertin'
them sinners to beat the band.
Well, guess I'll be
moseyin' along, Lord
Won't take no more of Your time
Guess there's plenty of folks
here 'bout just waitin' to ring
Your line.
Evenin' to you, Lord, and
watch over us tonight
And don't you wony none
about us, Lord,
cuz everything's
gonna be just all right...
