lirik lagu dave dudley - a farmer's prayer
[chorus]
lord, put a hand to the handle of my hoe
let me make another step, help me go another row
even though i’m tired, i break my back
for my wife and kids living in the shack
[verse 1]
every morning, lord, i get up and look at the sky
and i know if i’m gonna work, the sun’s got to shine
but i’m getting old, lord, before my time
broke down body and mind
and sometimes when i don’t see a raincloud floating by, lord
i just feel like dying
my pa used to tell me, when i was a boy
he’d say, “son, them big white fleecy clouds ain’t nothing but cotton fields of the lord”
well, after all these years of planting and chopping and picking
if i do get to heaven like i’ve been trying
and them clouds be what pa said
lord, i hope your angel’s not using a hoe
[chorus]
lord, put a hand to the handle of my hoe
let me make another step, help me go another row
even though i’m tired, i break my back
for my wife and kids living in the shack
[verse 2]
remember the time the wife said, “you’ve gotta slow down”?
i said, “honey, i gotta make it while i can”
so i worked three days without stopping
miss simmons down the road had wood need chopping
sam feller over east had hay that needed baling
and old man turner, he wanted his hopper fixed before spring planting
the fourth day, i was down on my back, lord
but i got it all done before the sky turned black
now, lord, i ain’t complaining, but sometime, when you see me stumble
reach down and lift a hand under my cotton sack
make my days a little shorter and my nights a little longer
make the hammer a little lighter and dollar a little stronger
if there’s anything i can do for you, lord, let me know
what’s to be done, and lord, thy will be done
good night, lord
[chorus]
lord, put a hand to the handle of my hoe
let me make another step, help me go another row
even though i’m tired, i break my back
for my wife and kids living in the shack
