Ring of Fire The Musical movie - Look at Them Beans lyrics

Song by Johnny Cash<br /><br>

This time last year there sure was a lot of sad faces around this old house<br>

Our papa died without fullfillin' his life's dream<br>

Of producing one of the best crops in Grimes County<br>

Though papa died with that dream still in his head<br>

A desire in his heart a promise on his lips callusess on both hands<br>

And two dollars in his pocket<br>

Papa didn't live long enough to see his dreams come true<br>

So he died from too much work broken spirit I guess<br>

But I promised our mama that if it was a last thing he'd ever do<br>

He'd live long enough to see just one good crop come through<br>

But you see we can't plan on things without first talking to God<br>

Because we don't know his plans and if we don't include him my friends<br>

The way can get mighty hard<br>

They say that everytime a good and righteous person<br>

Is buried in God's good earth it's just fortilizer for the soil<br>

And I guess there must be some truth to that whether we believe it or not<br>

I just wish that papa was here right now<br>

So that he could see this good crop that we fin'ly got<br>

Hey look at that beans and look at that corn<br>

And I bet them watermelons must be three feet long<br>

Man look at them tomatoes and look at them peas<br>

Well I know if papa was here right now he'd sure be pleased<br>

[ fiddle ]<br>

And papa would sure be proud of his children too<br>

My brother's famous now got his own show on the road<br>

Traveling in customized bus imported from Europe<br>

That boy always did love music and he loves to travel<br>

I got a sister that's got a good job in a beauty shop<br>

Making money making other people look good<br>

Ain't nobody here at a house now but me and mama<br>

And mama she's gettin' weaker and she's gettin' older every day<br>

And she talks softly about joinin' papa in his heavenly home<br>

But that woman sure did love that man<br>

She worked beside papa for forty some odd years<br>

Tryin' to produce a good crop and never could grow a single bean<br>

But I just wish that papa was here right now to see this good crop that we fin'ly got<br>

Man look at that beans...<br>

And papa if you can hear me look at them beans <br>

<br>
