Look At Them Beans Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[A]This time last year there sure was
A lot of sad faces around this old ho[E]use

Our papa died without fulfilling' his life's dream
Of producing one of the best crops in Grimes Cou[A]nty

Though papa died with that dream still in his head
A desire in his heart, a promise on his l[E]ips, calluses on both hands
And two dollars in his po[A]cket
Papa didn't live long enough to see his dreams come tr[E]ue
So he died from too much work, broken spirit, I g[A]uess

But I promised our mama that if it was a last thing he'd ever do
He'd l[E]ive long enough to see just one good crop come thr[A]ough
But you see we can't plan on things without first ta[E]lking to God
Because we don't know his pl[A]ans
And if we don't include him my fr[E]iends the way can get mighty h[A]ard
They say that ev[D]ery time a good and righteous person
Is buried in God's good earth it's just fertilizer for the s[A]oil
And I guess there must be some truth to t[E]hat
Whether we believe it or n[A]ot
I just wish that papa was here right n[E]ow
So that he could see this good crop th[E]at we finally g[A]ot

[CHORUS]
H[A]ey look at that beans and look at that cor[E]n
And I bet them watermelons must be three feet l[A]ong
Man look at them tom[D]atoes and look at them p[A]eas
Well I kn[E]ow if papa was here right now he'd sure be pleased

And p[A]apa would sure be proud of his children too
My brother's famous now got his own show on the r[E]oad

Traveling in customized bus imported from Europe
That boy always did love music and he loves to tr[A]avel


I got a sister that's got a good job in a beauty shop
Making money, making other pe[E]ople look good
Ain't nobody here at a house now but me and m[A]ama
And mama she's gettin' weaker and she's gettin' older ev[E]ery day

And she talks softly about joinin' papa in his heavenly h[A]ome

But that woman sure did love that man
She worked beside papa for forty some odd ye[E]ars
Tryin' to produce a good crop and never could grow a single b[A]ean
But I just wish that papa was here r[D]ight now
To see this good crop that [E]we finally g[A]ot

[CHORUS]
H[A]ey look at that beans and look at that c[E]orn
And I bet them watermelons must be three feet l[A]ong
Man look at them tom[D]atoes and look at them p[A]eas
Well I kn[E]ow if papa was here right now he'd sure be pleased
And papa, if you can hear me look at them beans
