"Crops Came In" lyrics

The crops came in, daddy's whistling "Dixie"
It's a heavy load on his shoulder
He can feed us kids right through the winter
'Cause the crops came in

You can hear mama singing in the kitchen
She's a-praising the Lord
That the crops came in
It's a heavy load off her shoulders
She can feed us kids right through the winter

'Cause the crops came in, the crops came in
The crops came in, the crops came in

I can hear brother calling from the backfield
Calling home for an extra hand
He's been working hard since sun up
And he'll be working 'til it's down again

'Cause the crops came in, the crops came in
The crops came in, the crops came in

Feels so good when the fields are clear
And poor boy grinning from ear to ear
And womens got to can 'til the canning's done
Then we'll all be a-watching for the snow to come

'Cause the crops came in, daddy's whistling "Dixie"
It's a heavy load on his shoulder
He can feed us kids right through the winter
'Cause the crops came in

You can hear mama singing in the kitchen
She's a-praising the Lord
That the crops came in
It's a heavy load off her shoulders
She can feed us kids right through the winter

'Cause the crops came in, the crops came in
The crops came in, the crops came in
