Walking the Beans

In (D) the middle of the summer heat

After the (G) corn was laid-(D)-by

We would walk the (G) beans, looking for (D) weeds

And the (G) sun was always hell-(D)- high

Oh, those beans were way past waist-high

And they (G) tangled with your (D) feet

Youd pull and (G) strain and really (D) try

To keep up with (A) Dad, in the dry summer (D) heat

Dad had a passion for (G) singing and making (D) rhymes

He had a whole passel of short, funny (A) songs

And (D) he would sing and hum them (G) some of the (D) time

Just to make the day (G) seem not so (D) long

Oh I am so very (G) lucky to have those (D) songs

Tucked away on some old calendars Dad wrote (A) on

I get them (D) out now (G) once in a (D) while

Just to listen and dream of (A) him and his great (D) smile

Tag: Walking the beans,

In the summer (A) heat

Not so bad after (D) all

(Fade..)…….. Not too (G) bad after (D) all
