Twenty Third Psalm Lyrics by Zach Dylan

Let the Bad Times Roll

0

He was all decked out in his work day best
Clean white shirt, Red Wing boots, overalls
First one in, last one out
Best seat in the good Lord's house
He could see it all
I'm sure he smiled as the preacher read
And his unsteady hand read his last requests
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
And send me home back to my makers arms
Amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
Came back from France in '44
Purple Heart and a diamond ring, for the girl next door
Lived a hard scratch farmer's life
A few good friends and a faithful wife, he adored
He was never one to ask for much
But to rest in peace, with a little peace, from the things he loved
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
And send me home back to my makers arms
Amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
Well lay me down in greener pastures
Right beside the quiet waters
Through the valley of the shadows, and rest my soul
My work is done, the worlds through with me
And I've plowed my last tobacco field
Don't shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
And send me home back to my makers arms
Amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
He was all decked out in his work day best...
