lyrics

Well the sun come up
Over broke-down barn
I can hear the kitchen bell ring
Papa get your boots on
It’s time to work.

Mothers got the children
Dilsey in the barn
Can’t you hear that steam train roll?
Benjy in a puddle
He starts to cry.

Grammy cookin’ biscuits
Jason chasin’ flies
Thought I heard the church bell beatin’ time
Breakfast on the table
Blessed is mine.

Wash water over me
Hallowed be my name
I’d jump in the river but
I think it’s gonna rain.
Take me down
Feed my soul.

Lords way up in heaven
We’re down here still tryin’
With some luck, get in on the first go ‘round.
But I’ll keep prayin’
Hear me wail.
