Well, [D]I am a dirt- [G]farmers [D]son
Raised in the Illinois bottom- [A]lands
We [D]didnt have [G]much, but we had [D]fun
It all came from Mom and Dads [A]hardworking [D]hands
They worked from [G]sun-up to sun- [D]down
To keep we younguns clothed and [A]fed
Everything [D]we had came [G]from the [D]ground
It was hard work but [A]nothing much was [D]said (D7)
Now [G]I am old and I think about back [D]then
Living in town where it is all at [A]hand
All [D]the things we [G]need just around the [D]bend
Thanks to my folks who [A]knew how to work the [D]land
Now that sharecropper and [G]his wife have passed [D]on
We kids grew up and had a family of our [A]own
And [D]they will [G]little know of what went [D]on
Took a lifetime to [A]learn were only here on a [D]loan
