This is late in so many ways. Perhaps it's the song requested by the OP many years back.
Black Land Farmer by Frankie Miller
Giddy-on-up boy
When the lord made me He made a simple man Not much money and not much land He didn't make me no banker or legal charmer When the lord made me he made a black land farmer
Well my hands ain't smooth, my face is rough But my heart is warm and my ways ain't tough I guess I'm the luckiest man ever born 'Cause the lord gave me health And a black land farm
Breaking up the new ground early in the day Gonna plant cotton, I'm gonna plant hay I love the smell of sweet breeze Blowin' through the corn Lord you sho' done me right By my black land farm
I feel like I'm a-gettin' closer to you, God Plowing up the ground and a-breaking up the sod Well my mind is set at ease and I could do no harm Lord, I owe it all to you And my blackland farm
