Luyện nghe bài hát Amen

(Chris Jonat)

Well I'm Jonathan Charles Henry
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 three of my own
I work hard, I clean, I reap what I've sewn

Aint had rain to of in round near a year
Crops searching for but there aint nothing near
We something soon, but it won't come I fear
My children eat, wife'll run out of tears.
So I to the back forty, said I needed the air
I walked past the fence, the Johnson share
And when I made right sure no one followed me
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 to rise
He said, Daddy quick I got the biggest surprise
We jumped to our clothes we realized
Could hear the pounding the patio door
And through cracks onto the kitchen floor
We in the yard til we could stand it no more
Then got on our knees gave our thanks to the Lord

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

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