"Look At Them Beans"
ch]A[/ch
This time last year there sure was
ch]E[/ch
A lot of sad faces around this old house
Our papa died without fulfilling' his life's dream
ch]A[/ch
Of producing one of the best crops in Grimes County
Though papa died with that dream still in his head
ch]E[/ch
A desire in his heart, a promise on his lips, calluses on both hands
ch]A[/ch
And two dollars in his pocket
ch]E[/ch
Papa didn't live long enough to see his dreams come true
ch]A[/ch
So he died from too much work, broken spirit, I guess
But I promised our mama that if it was a last thing he'd ever do
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He'd live long enough to see just one good crop come through
ch]E[/ch
But you see we can't plan on things without first talking to God
ch]A[/ch
Because we don't know his plans
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And if we don't include him my friends the way can get mighty hard
ch]D[/ch
They say that every time a good and righteous person
ch]A[/ch
Is buried in God's good earth it's just fertilizer for the soil
ch]E[/ch
And I guess there must be some truth to that
ch]A[/ch
Whether we believe it or not
ch]E[/ch
I just wish that papa was here right now
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
So that he could see this good crop that we finally got
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Hey look at that beans and look at that corn
ch]A[/ch
And I bet them watermelons must be three feet long
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Man look at them tomatoes and look at them peas
ch]E[/ch
Well I know if papa was here right now he'd sure be pleased
ch]A[/ch
And papa would sure be proud of his children too
ch]E[/ch
My brother's famous now got his own show on the road
Traveling in customized bus imported from Europe
ch]A[/ch
That boy always did love music and he loves to travel
I got a sister that's got a good job in a beauty shop
ch]E[/ch
Making money, making other people look good
ch]A[/ch
Ain't nobody here at a house now but me and mama
ch]E[/ch
And mama she's gettin' weaker and she's gettin' older every day
ch]A[/ch
And she talks softly about joinin' papa in his heavenly home
But that woman sure did love that man
ch]E[/ch
She worked beside papa for forty some odd years
ch]A[/ch
Tryin' to produce a good crop and never could grow a single bean
ch]D[/ch
But I just wish that papa was here right now
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
To see this good crop that we finally got
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Hey look at that beans and look at that corn
ch]A[/ch
And I bet them watermelons must be three feet long
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Man look at them tomatoes and look at them peas
ch]E[/ch
Well I know if papa was here right now he'd sure be pleased
And papa, if you can hear me look at them beans
