I have gee'd and haw'd myself into a tizzy
I am yearning for a turning in the most peculiar way
Blame it on my genes, caked in tenant farming
I can't stand idle hands, as the hours waste away
Let your love light shine
Don't you hide it beneath those bushels, baby.
Take that whip to task, work me all night beneath the flame.
I am yours to use, and I sure wish you would use me
Do not let my heart just fall apart, rustin' in the rain.
I'm a hillside plow, turning one way then the other.
I don't run around in circles. I work right on up the side.
Starting at the foot, going past the shoulder,
'til I slit the rows in the whole hillside.
Let your love light shine
Don't you hide it beneath those bushels, baby.
Take that whip to task, work me all night beneath the flame.
I am yours to use, and I sure wish you would use me
Do not let my heart just fall apart, rustin' in the rain.
Key Change to B
I have gee'd and haw'd for you and it sure suits me.
I am pawing with impatience at the thought of trace chains.
I've grit my bit. Running half rows just for thinking
Getting hunkered down trying to get up through the shame.
Let your love light shine
Don't you hide it beneath those bushels, baby.
Take that whip to task, work me all night beneath the flame.
I am yours to use, and I sure wish you would use me
Do not let my heart just fall apart, rustin' in the rain.
