Luyện nghe bài hát Amen

(Chris Jonat)

Well I'm Charles Henry McKay
I've lived on farm 30 years and a day
Some folks me Junior but I don't like it that way
Since the storm of '90 when dad left to
Mom passed a year later couldn't bear alone
It's going on ten years I been head of home
Now I got me a wife and boys of my own
I work hard, I live clean, I reap what sewn

Aint had rain to speak of in near a year
Crops searching for water but aint nothing near
We need something soon, but it won't I fear
My children won't eat, run out of tears.
So I went to the back forty, I needed the air
I walked past the fence, the Johnson share
And when I made sure no one followed me there
I got down on my knees, cried Lord, do you

Amen, Amen, Oh Lord, Amen,

morning came early sleep still in my eyes
My eldest, John Three, he was the first to
He said, Daddy come quick I got the biggest
We to our clothes cause we realized
Could hear the rain pounding the patio
And sneaking through cracks onto the floor
We in the yard til we could stand it no more
Then got down on our knees gave our to the Lord

I sent the to their aunts, day before last
Yesterday morning told the wife get there
The water rising it's already past
The of the house but I'm staying pat
Now I'm top of the tree where my daddy climbed
And I'm thinking I'm done though it seem my time
I got living to do, business to
Wanna watch the grow, see the next in my line
And I can't bow down, cause there's no for my knees
But I'm out loud now, I'm asking you please
Father have mercy, Jesus my pleas
up in heaven I'm not ready to leave

Well I'm Charles Henry McKay
And lived on this farm my ten years and a day
folks call me Three but I don't like it that way
Since done traded his own life for rain
