Subject: Thank God I'm A Black Dirt Farmer From: Date: 31 May 99 - 02:10 PM A friend of a friend is expecting to pass away soon, and has asked my friend to sing this song at her funeral. She has no more information about it than the title "Thank God I'm a Black Dirt Farmer". I am thinking that it might be a Canadian folksong, but I have nothing else to go on. I have checked many of the folksong databases with no luck. Any one? |

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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DheABBYirhk |
