 Intro

Verse 1

 Will you comfort me in my time of need

Take away the pain and hurtful deed

 Cause when we need it most there's no rain at all

The dust just settles right there on the field

Chorus

 Will you say to me, little rain's gon' come

 When the sky can't offer none to me

 Cause I will comfort you when my days are through

 And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

Cause when the calm comes down

I take the truck on into town

And buy whatever we can't seem to grow

Work these hands to bleed

Cause I got mouths to feed

And I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove

Chorus

Verse

Cause it ain't like it was

On back in those days

When everyone would offer up a hand

These old bones are worn

I've grown tired son

I know my time is surely gonna come

Chorus

Verse

Lord we married young

Stayed where we come from

And gave those children everything we had

(chorus chords)

Will you stay with me

In my time of need

Though it seems we had such little time for love
