Walter Brennan - A Farmer's Christmas Prayer lyrics

You know Lord it's been awhile since I talked with you

I've been so galdarnd busy with that crop and all and

Well, I guess I just forgot to take time out.

But I ain't a-forgettin' that crop you done give us this year

Hmm, and that little heifer you brought us is growing like a weed

Yes sir, without that crop Lord

I guess I'd a had to do without that new plow

And ma wouldn't have that new Sundy dress she's so proud of now.

Ah, I guess we wouldn't have a lot of thing Lord if it weren't for you

And that new church in the valley, Lord

Well, that's about the finest thing you could ever do.

The towns might proud of it

We're all gonna be there at Christmas day too.

Oh, you know Billy's gonna make it home

From the Army for Christmas this year

And we all want to thank you for that

'Cause we sure do miss him.

It seems like just yesterday

We was buying him Christmas toys

And he was a runnin' all over the house

Makin' a lot of noise.

You know ma and me we laugh about that every now and then

Aw, it's gonna be good to have him home again

Well Lord, I suppose I used up about all of my time

And there must be lots of others a-waitin' in line.

I reckon during this time of year

Lots of people is a-waitin to share the Christmas cheer

So don't you worry non about us Lord

Cause me and my family is gonna have a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year...
