Only On Loan
Well, DI am a dirt- Gfarmers Dson
Raised in the Illinois bottom- Alands
We Ddidnt have Gmuch, but we had Dfun
It all came from Mom and Dads Ahardworking Dhands
They worked from Gsun-up to sun- Ddown
To keep we younguns clothed and Afed
Everything Dwe had came Gfrom the Dground
It was hard work but Anothing much was Dsaid (D7)
Now GI am old and I think about back Dthen
Living in town where it is all at Ahand
All Dthe things we Gneed just around the Dbend
Thanks to my folks who Aknew how to work the Dland
Now that sharecropper and Ghis wife have passed Don
We kids grew up and had a family of our Aown
And Dthey will Glittle know of what went Don
Took a lifetime to Alearn were only here on a Dloan
