dusk arising

small praise

 


work again so
money comes in
oiling creaky
dwindling years
wood and coal
the fat belly stove
saving on up
fo\' electric bill


          rainy day floorboard money
          Jessie got a birthday coming
          how many more years
                             livin hand to mouth
          thankful it aint snowing


          small praise
          fo\' these days


achin back been
buggin me
worn out knees
and a family
truck dont start
Billy\'s come home
eggs on the stove
breakfast done

            rainy day keeps on comin
            Mamma\'s got old age showing
            how many more years
                          livin hand to mouth
            watchin my seedlings growing

            small praise
            fo\' these days
        

wasn\'t never meant to pan out this way
waiting for a reason on the judgement day
preacher done told me when the day is done
st peter gonna tell me god bless you son


            small praise
            fo\' these days
            
            small praise
