Walking the Beans
In (D) the middle of the summer heat
After the (G) corn was laid-(D)-by
We would walk the (G) beans, looking for (D) weeds
And the (G) sun was always hell-(D)- high
Oh, those beans were way past waist-high
And they (G) tangled with your (D) feet
Youd pull and (G) strain and really (D) try
To keep up with (A) Dad, in the dry summer (D) heat
Dad had a passion for (G) singing and making (D) rhymes
He had a whole passel of short, funny (A) songs
And (D) he would sing and hum them (G) some of the (D) time
Just to make the day (G) seem not so (D) long
Oh I am so very (G) lucky to have those (D) songs
Tucked away on some old calendars Dad wrote (A) on
I get them (D) out now (G) once in a (D) while
Just to listen and dream of (A) him and his great (D) smile
Tag: Walking the beans,
In the summer (A) heat
Not so bad after (D) all
(Fade..)…….. Not too (G) bad after (D) all
