[D] While resting one evening by the [A] side of the [D] road, [F#m] I seen [G] an old farmer in a field he just hold.
His face was all [D] brown and wrinkled by the wind, and he was talking to the Lord [A] just
like he'd be talking to a [D] friend.
[Em] [G] Well, sir, he said [D] in a voice calm and quiet, [F#m] them corn tassels need [D] sacking, [G] but I got
no string to tie it.
Had no [D] rain in so long that the field is mighty dusty.
[G] It's been [F#m] so unbearable hot [A] that the [D] kids are even getting fussy.
Now that grass down in the [G] pasture should be knee high.
[D] If we could just have a little shower, Lord, it might keep the cow from going dry.
[G] Ha, listen to me talk and [D] you'd think I weren't grateful.
[A] Why, if you didn't know me so well, Lord, [D] you'd think I was downright hateful.
You'd think I forgot about the [G] new calf that you sent, the money in the mail that [D] took
care of the rent, Mars cold is better and Johnny's home from the Navy and [F#m] that good
Sunday dinner of chicken [D] dumplings and gravy.
The new preacher you sent us, Lord, [G] he sure is a fine young [D] man.
Why, he's just converting them sinners to beat the band.
Well, [G] guess I'll be moseying along, Lord.
[D] Won't take no more of your time.
[A] Guess there's [D] plenty of folks here about you waiting to ring your line.
[G] Evening to you, Lord, and watch over us tonight.
And don't you [D] worry none about us, Lord, because everything's going to be [A] just all right.
