Tonalité : G major
Verse 1
D
G
Lord have mercy,
C
G
this time last year there were a lot of sad faces around this old house.
C
G
Our papa had died without fulfilling his life's
dream of producing one of the best crops in
Grimes
C
County.
G
But he never did fulfill that dream,
C
G
nor papa died with that dream still in his head.
A desire in his heart, a promise on his lips,
calluses on both hands, and two dollars in his pocket.
Papa didn't live long enough to see his dream come true,
C
G
so he died with too much work,
a broken spirit I guess,
a promise to our mama that if it was the last thing he'd ever
do he'd live long enough to see just
one good crop come through.
But you see we can't plan on
things without first talking to
God because we don't know
his plans, and if we don't include him
my friends the way can get mighty hard.
They say every time a good
and righteous person is buried in
God's good earth it's just fertilizer
for the soil.
And I guess there must be some truth to that,
whether we believe it or not
I just wish that
Papa was here right now so he could see
this good crop that we finally got
Oh man, look at them beans
Em
G
An d look at that corn
Em
G
An d I bet them watermelons
must be three feet long
Em
G
And look at them tomatoes
Em
G
And just look at them beans
C
G
C
Now, if my papa was here right now,
G
he'd sure be pleased.
And papa would sure be proud
C
G
of his children, too.
Juniors up north somewhere, they tell me,
playing with some famous band.
C
G
Course, that boy always
did love music.
He loved to travel here and there.
I'm so proud for him.
And baby sister, well, they tell me,
Yo,
May
Sue got herself one
of them beautician jobs
Making good money, y 'all,
fixing other folks' hair
Ain't nobody here at the house
but me and
Mama now
Boy,
Mama is getting weaker and
she's getting older every day
And she talks awful about
John and
Papa in his heavenly home
Lord, that woman sure did love that man
She worked beside
Papa for forty -some years
Tried to produce a good crop and never
could grow a single bean
But I just wish that
Papa was here right now
See this good crop that we finally got
Good
God
Almighty, man
Will you look at them beans
Man, look at that corn
And them watermelons must
be at least three feet long
Man, look at them tomatoes
Just look at them beans
And I know if
Papa was here right now
The old man would sure be pleased
And
Papa, if you can hear me
We finally got us one.
