My father's father was the wisest man I ever knew
|
Sixty years of education
|
Seven years of school
|
Farming kept his body strong
|
At night the only books he owned
|
Kept his mind sharp as a tack
|
The family bible and the farmer's almanac
|
|
When to plant
|
When to harvest
|
How you reap just what you sow
|
When to look for rain and who to turn to when it don't
|
There was a plan for early frost
|
Salvation for the lost
|
Words to live and die by front to back
|
The family bible and the farmer's almanac
|
|
One came from his mother
|
Handed down the day she died
|
The co-op sent the other
|
Every year at Christmas time
|
He knew the seasons to the day
|
Knew Paul and Peter by first name
|
He could answer any question he was asked
|
With the family bible and the farmer's almanac
|
|
When to plant
|
When to harvest
|
How you reap just what you sow
|
When to look for rain and who to turn to when it don't
|
There was a plan for early frost
|
Salvation for the lost
|
Words to live and die by front to back
|
The family bible and the farmer's almanac
|
|
He knew the way to get
|
Through this life to the next
|
While others spoke of faith
|
He found the facts
|
In the family bible and the farmer's almanac
|
The family bible and the farmer's almanac
