Babe's done got himself down again Thinkin' rain an' wait a storm for washin' the land Mercy worked lord and changed his name Baptized for grain and religion didn't grow no seeds and it's all on me Half the time I'm medlin' with a shotgun and a scarecrow My friend the evenin' finds me alone Half the time I'm medlin' with a shotgun and a scarecrow My friend the evenin' finds me alone Wake up take down all I have For feedin' my calves and the hounds a bayin' at the back door All day frettin' and stackin' hay And keep a bed for our corn is dyin' in the fields Change from scorchin' sun... Switch the crops for the land to please and it's all on me
