The Family Bible And The Farmer's Almanac Lyrics

My father's father was the wisest man I ever knew
Sixty years of education, seven years of school
Farming kept his body strong, at night the only books he owned
Kept his mind sharp as a tack
The family Bible and the Farmer's Almanac

When to plant, when to harvest, how you weed just what you sow
When to look for rain and who to turn to when it don't
There was a plan for defrost, salvation for the lost
Words to live and die by front to back
The family Bible and the Farmer's Almanac

One came from his mother, handed down the day she died
The co-op sent the other every year at Christmas time
He knew the seasons to the day, knew Paul and Peter by first name He could answer any question he was asked
With the family Bible and the Farmer's Almanac

When to plant, when to harvest, how you weed just what you sow
When to look for rain and who to turn to when it don't
There was a plan for defrost, salvation for the lost
Words to live and die by front to back
The family Bible and the Farmer's Almanac

He knew the way to get through this life to the next
While others spoke of faith, he found the facts
In the family Bible and the Farmer's Almanac
The family Bible and the Farmer's Almanac
