Luyện nghe bài hát Amen

(Chris Jonat)

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

Aint had rain to speak of in near a year
Crops searching for water but there aint nothing
We need something soon, but it 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 the fence, through 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,

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

I sent the boys to their aunts, day before
Yesterday morning told the wife get there
The water keeps rising it's past
The roof of the house but I'm pat
Now I'm top of the tree my daddy once climbed
And I'm thinking I'm done though it don't seem my
I got living to do, 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 you please
Father have mercy, Jesus my pleas
Lord up in heaven I'm not ready to

Well I'm Charles Henry McKay
And I've lived on farm my ten years and a day
Some folks call me Three but I like it that way
daddy done traded his own life for rain
