Lord put a hand to the handle of my hoe Let me
make another step help me go another road Even
though I'm tired I'd break my back for my wife and
kids livin' in the shack

Every morning Lord I I get up and look at the sky
And I know if I'm gonna work the sun's gotta shine
I'm gettin' old Lord before my time broke down
body and mind And some time when I don't see a
rain cloud floatin' by Lord I just feel like dyin'
My pa used to tell me when I was a boy He said son
them big white fleely clouds ain't nothin' but the
cottonfields of the Lord So after all these years
of plantin' and choppin' and pickin' If I do get
to the heaven like I've been tryin' and them
clouds be what pa said Lord I hope your angels
know how to use a hoe Lord put a hand...

You rememeber the time when the wife said you
gotta slow down I said honey I gotta make it while
I can so I worked three days without stoppin' For
Miss Simons down the road had would need choppin'
Ame Merlow over east had hay that needed bailin'
Ol' man Turner he wanted his hopper fixed Before
spring plantin' down my back Lord But I got it all
done before the sky turned black now Lord I ain't
complainin' but sometime when you see me stumble
Reach down and lift a hand under my cotton sack
Make my days a little shorter my nights a little
longer Make a hammer a little lighter and a dollar
a little stronger If there's anything I can do for
you Lord Let me know what's to be done Lord by
will be done goodnight Lord Lord put a hand...
