Eric C Lyden - A Naponee Christmas

c NcPONEE CHRISTMcS
(Lyden, Words and Music)

I was born and raised in Naponee, Nebraska
Learned to work the fields when I was young
Chasing chickens in the yard
Chucking corn until dawn
Bailing hay in the old red barn

The preacher taught me about heaven and hell
It was Eve's fault that cdam fell
Follow what the good book says
Thank the Lord every day
Do my chores before I play

Chorus
I am a farmer
cnd you're my farmer wife
Get the boys out in the fields to
Work till night
Then grab your coat and hat
We're gonna have some farmer fun tonight

My ma and pa they taught me right
Get on my knees to pray each and every night
Git home by supper time
Early to bed, early to rise
Stay outta trouble and don't fight

Never wondered what the rest of the
World was like
Never dreamed about Hollywood and bright
Lights
Sittin' on my granddad's lap
Whittling a pipe, having a laugh
No thought of what we don't have

Chorus

Ma and Pa were buried long ago
The fields dried up so there ain't nothin'
Left to sew
But I still look to them
Remember their undying love
Thank the heavenly Lord above

I was born and raised in Naponee, Nebraska
Learned to work the filed when I was young
Chasing chickens in the yard
Chucking corn until dawn
Bailing hay in the old red barn

Chorus
