Well I'm Jonathan Henry McKay I've lived on farm 30 years and a day Some folks call me Junior but I don't like it way Since the storm of '90 when dad left to Mom passed a year later couldn't bear being It's going on ten years I been head of this Now I got me a wife and boys of my own I work hard, I live clean, I reap what I've
Aint had rain to of in round near a year Crops searching for water but there nothing near We need soon, but it won't come I fear My children eat, wife'll run out of tears. So I went to the forty, said I needed the air I walked the fence, through the Johnson share And when I made right sure no one me there I got down on my knees, cried Lord, do you
Amen, Amen, Oh Lord, Amen,
Next morning came early sleep still in my My eldest, John Three, he was the first to He said, Daddy come quick I got the biggest We jumped to our clothes cause we Could hear the pounding the patio door And sneaking through cracks onto the kitchen We danced in the yard til we could stand it no got down on our knees gave our thanks to the Lord
I sent the boys to their aunts, day last Yesterday morning told the wife get fast The keeps rising it's already past The roof of the but I'm staying pat Now I'm top of the tree where my daddy climbed And I'm thinking I'm though it don't seem my time I got to do, business to mind watch the boys grow, see the next in my line And I bow down, cause there's no land for my knees But I'm crying out loud now, I'm asking you have mercy, Jesus hear my pleas Lord up in I'm not ready to leave
I'm Jonathan Charles Henry McKay And lived on this farm my ten years and a day Some folks call me Three but I like it that way Since done traded his own life for rain
