CI plowed the fields and G7I planted the Cseed
I worked my G7hands to the Cbone
But the ground laid C7barren till FHe sent the Csunshine
For I can do G7nothing aClone
I raised the corn and G7I rode to the Cmill
With the best crop G7I ever had Cgrown
But the wheel wouldn't grind till FHe stirred the Cwaters
For I can do G7nothing aClone
G7I can do nothing aClone
I'm G7weak and my Master is Cstrong
I held the C7pencil but FHe wrote this Csong
For I can do G7nothing aClone
And now as my years lead G7me into the Cvalley
I've asked Him to G7please come Chome
For I walk in C7search of the Fgood life hereCafter
And I can do G7nothing aClone
G7I can do nothing aClone
I'm G7weak and my Master is Cstrong
I held the C7pencil but FHe wrote this Csong
For I can do G7nothing aClone
