"Look At Them Beans"
AThis time last year there sure was
A lot of sad faces around this old hoEuse
Our papa died without fulfilling' his life's dream
Of producing one of the best crops in Grimes CouAnty
Though papa died with that dream still in his head
A desire in his heart, a promise on his lEips, calluses on both hands
And two dollars in his poAcket
Papa didn't live long enough to see his dreams come trEue
So he died from too much work, broken spirit, I gAuess
But I promised our mama that if it was a last thing he'd ever do
He'd lEive long enough to see just one good crop come thrAough
But you see we can't plan on things without first taElking to God
Because we don't know his plAans
And if we don't include him my frEiends the way can get mighty hAard
They say that evDery time a good and righteous person
Is buried in God's good earth it's just fertilizer for the sAoil
And I guess there must be some truth to tEhat
Whether we believe it or nAot
I just wish that papa was here right nEow
So that he could see this good crop thEat we finally gAot
[Chorus]
HAey look at that beans and look at that corEn
And I bet them watermelons must be three feet lAong
Man look at them tomDatoes and look at them pAeas
Well I knEow if papa was here right now he'd sure be pleased
And pAapa would sure be proud of his children too
My brother's famous now got his own show on the rEoad
Traveling in customized bus imported from Europe
That boy always did love music and he loves to trAavel
I got a sister that's got a good job in a beauty shop
Making money, making other peEople look good
Ain't nobody here at a house now but me and mAama
And mama she's gettin' weaker and she's gettin' older evEery day
And she talks softly about joinin' papa in his heavenly hAome
But that woman sure did love that man
She worked beside papa for forty some odd yeEars
Tryin' to produce a good crop and never could grow a single bAean
But I just wish that papa was here rDight now
To see this good crop that Ewe finally gAot
[Chorus]
HAey look at that beans and look at that cEorn
And I bet them watermelons must be three feet lAong
Man look at them tomDatoes and look at them pAeas
Well I knEow if papa was here right now he'd sure be pleased
And papa, if you can hear me look at them beans
