Black Land Farmer

Git up here boy!

Hummm... hummmmm... hummmmmm
Hummm... hummmmm... hummmmmm
Hummm... hummmmm... hummmmmm

When the Lord made me
He made a simple man
Not much money and not much land
He didn't make me no banker or legal charmer
When the Lord made me he made a black land farmer

Well my hands ain't smooth, my face is rough
But my heart is warm and my ways ain't tough
I guess I'm the luckiest man ever born
'Cause the Lord gave me health
And a black land farm

Hummm... hummmmm... hummmmmm
Hummm... hummmmm... hummmmmm
Hummm... hummmmm... hummmmmm

Breaking up the new ground early in the day
Gonna plant cotton, I'm gonna plant hay
I love to smell the sweet breeze blowing through the corn
Lord you sho done me right
By my black land farm

I feel like I'm getting closer to you, God
A plowing up the new ground and breaking up the sod
My mind is set not to do no harm
Lord, I owe it all to You
And my black land farm

Hummm... hummmmm... hummmmmm
Hummm... hummmmm... hummmmmm
Hummm... hummmmm... hummmmmm
