Only On Loan
at Valley Park, Mo
Only On Loan
Well, (D) I am a dirt-(G) farmers (D) son
Raised in the Illinois bottom-(A) lands
We (D) didnt have (G) much, but we had (D) fun
It all came from Mom and Dads (A) hardworking (D) hands
They worked from (G) sun-up to sun-(D) down
To keep we younguns clothed and (A) fed
Everything (D) we had came (G) from the (D) ground
It was hard work but (A) nothing much was (D) said (D-7)
Now (G) I am old and I think about back (D) then
Living in town where it is all at (A) hand
All (D) the things we (G) need just around the (D) bend
Thanks to my folks who (A) knew how to work the (D) land
Now that sharecropper and (G) his wife have passed (D) on
We kids grew up and had a family of our (A) own
And (D) they will (G) little know of what went (D) on
Took a lifetime to (A) learn were only here on a (D) loan
