Look At Them Beans by Johnny Cash
Look At Them Beans
Capo:no capo
A
This time last year there sure was
E
A lot of sad faces around this old house
Our papa died without fulfilling' his life's dream
A
Of producing one of the best crops in Grimes County
Though papa died with that dream still in his head
E
A desire in his heart, a promise on his lips, calluses on both hands
A
And two dollars in his pocket
E
Papa didn't live long enough to see his dreams come true
A
So he died from too much work, broken spirit, I guess
But I promised our mama that if it was a last thing he'd ever do
E A
He'd live long enough to see just one good crop come through
E
But you see we can't plan on things without first talking to God
A
Because we don't know his plans
E A
And if we don't include him my friends the way can get mighty hard
D
They say that every time a good and righteous person
A
Is buried in God's good earth it's just fertilizer for the soil
E
And I guess there must be some truth to that
A
Whether we believe it or not
E
I just wish that papa was here right now
E A
So that he could see this good crop that we finally got
[Chorus]
A E
Hey look at that beans and look at that corn
A
And I bet them watermelons must be three feet long
D A
Man look at them tomatoes and look at them peas
E
Well I know if papa was here right now he'd sure be pleased
A
And papa would sure be proud of his children too
E
My brother's famous now got his own show on the road
Traveling in customized bus imported from Europe
A
That boy always did love music and he loves to travel
I got a sister that's got a good job in a beauty shop
E
Making money, making other people look good
A
Ain't nobody here at a house now but me and mama
E
And mama she's gettin' weaker and she's gettin' older every day
A
And she talks softly about joinin' papa in his heavenly home
But that woman sure did love that man
E
She worked beside papa for forty some odd years
A
Tryin' to produce a good crop and never could grow a single bean
D
But I just wish that papa was here right now
E A
To see this good crop that we finally got
[Chorus]
A E
Hey look at that beans and look at that corn
A
And I bet them watermelons must be three feet long
D A
Man look at them tomatoes and look at them peas
E
Well I know if papa was here right now he'd sure be pleased
And papa, if you can hear me look at them beans
