Only On Loan

Well, (D) I am a dirt-(G) farmers (D) son

Raised in the Illinois bottom-(A) lands

We (D) didnt have (G) much, but we had (D) fun

It all came from Mom and Dads (A) hardworking (D) hands

They worked from (G) sun-up to sun-(D) down

To keep we younguns clothed and (A) fed

Everything (D) we had came (G) from the (D) ground

It was hard work but (A) nothing much was (D) said (D-7)

Now (G) I am old and I think about back (D) then

Living in town where it is all at (A) hand

All (D) the things we (G) need just around the (D) bend

Thanks to my folks who (A) knew how to work the (D) land

Now that sharecropper and (G) his wife have passed (D) on

We kids grew up and had a family of our (A) own

And (D) they will (G) little know of what went (D) on

Took a lifetime to (A) learn were only here on a (D) loan
