Tonart: C major
Verse 1
G
This time last year there sure was
A lot of sad faces around this old house
Our papa died without fulfillin'
his life's dream
Of producing one of the best
crops in Grimes County
Verse 2
G
Though 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 dreams come true
Verse 3
G
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
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
Verse 4
G
Because we don't know his plans
And if we don't include him my friends
the way can get mighty hard
They say that every time
a good and righteous person
Is buried in God's good earth
it's just fertilizer for the soil
Verse 5
G
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 that he could see this good
crop that we finally got
Verse 6
and look at that corn
And I bet them watermelons
must be three feet long
Man look at them tomatoes
and look at them peas
Well I know if papa was here right
Verse 7
now he'd sure be pleased
G
And papa would sure be proud
of his children too
My brother's famous now got his
own show on the road
Traveling in customized bus
imported from Europe
That boy always did love
music and he loves to travel
Verse 8
G
I got a sister that's got a good
job in a beauty shop
Making money,
making other people look good
Ain't nobody here at a house
now but me and mama
And mama she's gettin' weaker
and she's gettin' older every day
Verse 9
G
And she talks softly about joinin'
papa in his heavenly home
But that woman sure did love that man
She worked beside papa for
forty some odd years
Tryin' to produce a good crop and
never could grow a single bean
Verse 10
G
But I just wish that papa was here right now
To see this good crop that we finally got
Man, look at that beans
and look at that corn
And I bet them watermelons
must be three feet long
Verse 11
G
Man, look at them tomatoes and
look at them peas
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
