[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][G][D][G][D]
[G]Ooooooo[D]

[Verse 1]
[A][D]
While resting one evening
by the side of the road
I seen an old farmer
[G]in a field he [D]just owed
[G]His face was all brown
[D]and wrinkled by the wind,
and he was talking to the Lord
just [A]like he'd be talking to a friend.
Well, sir, he [D]said in a voice
calm and quiet,
them corn tassels need sacking,
[G]but we got no string [D]to tie [G]it.
Had no rain in [D]so long
that the field is mighty dusty.
[A]It's been so unbearable hot
that the kids are even [D]getting fussy.
Now that grass down in the pasture
should [G]be knee -high.
[D]If we could just have a little shower, Lord,
it might keep the cow from going dry.
Ha, [G]listen to me talk
and you'd think I [D]weren't grateful.
Why, if you [A]didn't know
me so well, Lord,
you'd think I [D]was downright [A]hateful.
[D]You'd think I forgot about
the [G]new calf that you sent,
[D]the [G]money in the mail
that took care of the [D]rent,
Ma's cold is better
and Johnny's home from the Navy,
and that good Sunday [A]dinner
of chicken dumplings [D]and gravy.
The new preacher you sent us, Lord,
[G]he sure is a fine young man[D].
Why, he's just converting them sinners
to beat the band.
Well, I guess [G]I'll be moseying along,
[D]won't take no more
[A]of your time.
I guess there's plenty of folks
here about [D]you,
waiting to ring your [A]line.[D]
Evening to you, [G]Lord,
and watch over [D]us tonight.[G]
And don't you worry none about [D]us,
Lord,
Because everything is going
to be just all [A]right.
[D]
