From the recording Make Hay When The Sun Shines

Lyrics

Momma worked on the farmhard as any man I know
She could plow and sow the fields,and when she had to shoot the crows
She had faith in the land and sky, faith in the good books verse
She pulled us through like a string of a shoewith her wise and simple words
 
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
          When the grass is tall and dry 
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
          Stack that barn rafter high
          There’s a time for summer, a time for snow
          A time to let things go
          From the break of daylight
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
 
So when I lay staring at the ceiling, my heart like a ton of lead
There’s momma’s voice in the back of my head with those healing words she said
Even if it rains like hell and we have to start from scratch
There’s a brighter spell ahead; thank God for what we have
 
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
          When the grass is tall and dry 
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
          Stack that barn rafter high
          There’s a time for summer, a time for snow
          A time to let things go
          From the break of daylight
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
 
There’s a change on the horizon now, from midnight blue to gold
I’m puttin' on my boots, there’s coffee on the stove
 
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
          When the grass is tall and dry 
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
          Stack that barn rafter high
          There’s a time for summer, a time for snow
          A time to let things go
          From the break of daylight
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
 
          There’s a time for summer, a time for snow
          A time to let things go
          From the break of daylight
          Make Hay When The Sun Shines
