While resting the other evening by the  (C major)

Verse 2

Well sir he said with his voice

calm and quiet

Them corn tassels need suckin'

I got no strength to tie it

Had no rain in so long that the fields

are mighty dusty

And it's been so unbearable hot that

the kids were even gettin' fussy

Verse 3
C 
Now  (C major) that grass down and the pasture
it should be knee high
F 
If we could just have a little  (F major) shower Lord
C 
G 
 (C major) it might keep the calf from going dry  (G major) 
C 
Oh but listen to me  (C major) talking you'd
think I wasn't grateful
F 
Why if you didn't know me so well  (F major) Lord you'd
think I was down right hateful

Verse 4
C 
You'd think I forgot about  (C major) 
that new calf that you sent
And the money in the mail that
G 
took care of the rent  (G major) 
Bb 
C 
Mama's  (B flat major) cough's better  (C major) and
Johnny's home from the navy
And that good Sunday dinner of hot chicken
F 
 (F major) and dumplings and gravy

Verse 5
C 
 (C major) And that new preacher you sent us
Lord he's sure a fine young man
Why he's just convertin' them
F 
C 
 (F major) sinners to beat the bad  (C major) 
G 
C 
Well guess I'll  (G major) mosey on home now Lord  (C major) 
I won't take no more your time
Guess there's plenty folks here about
F 
waitin' to ring  (F major) your line
