Lyrics
He pulls the plow and He turns the soil
He builds his life with sweat and toil
The banker lends to buy the seed
But the money’s gone in his time of need
The farmer’s work is never done
He’s bound to work till the setting sun
The sun comes up; it’s time to go
A bite to eat, another row to hoe
The sun burns hot in the summer sky
And the crops won’t grow if it gets to dry
On his knees he prays for rain
Cool water flow wash away the pain
Chorus
