Lyrics of Drought

(you can dam out the water and shut the wind out)
But a man ain't been born who can destroy a drought

There's a hot screaming wind at my door but i just don't care anymore
There's a crop killing drought on the way and my good woman she left me today
Oh she stayed just as long as she could but then the farm has not treated us good
She begged me to pack up and go but then farming is all that i know
You can dam out the water...

She cried as if i were to blame but the lord knows i can't make it rain
There's a hot screaming sun up in the sky it's so still i can hear the grass die
So i'll wait for the coolness of dark and bear up to this pain in my heart
And i'll pray with the coming of each dawn that this crop killing drought will be gone
You can dam out the water...
