Jason's Farm Song Lyrics and Chords by Cal Smith

 

Jason's Farm
Recorded by Cal Smith
Written by John Adrian
C 
He bought three hundred acres ten miles south of town
 
A  
G7 
drifter who decided it was  
C 
time to settle down
There was no sea he had not sailed a sky he had not flown
 
And the  
G7 
only place he'd never been was a  
F 
place he could call his  
C 
own
He broke the soil and planted seed but the land refused to yield
 
And  
G7 
the loneliness he felt at night was the  
C 
kind no man should feel
Till a woman came into his life a daughter of a soil
 
A  
G7 
bride that he could stand beside and  
F 
ease his daily  
C 
toil
 
And he  
F 
called his  
G7 
kingdom Jason's  
C 
Farm
 
The  
G7 
land grew rich and green for  
C 
king Jason and his queen
 
And the  
G7 
wind blew sweet each night time as they  
F 
lay in each others  
C 
arms
 
And all  
G7 
things good  
F 
grew on Jason's  
C 
Farm
When the summer sun had finally gone and the harvest time was near
G7 
Jason's pretty Mary whispered  
C 
magic in his ear
Then Jason's laughter filled the land and his soul began to sing
 
And he  
G7 
boasted of a son his wife would  
F 
bear him in the  
C 
spring
 
And all  
F 
things good  
G7 
grew on Jason's  
C 
Farm
 
The  
G7 
land beneath the skies turned as  
C 
green as Mary's eyes
 
And he  
G7 
felt the child grow strong in Mary's  
F 
womb against his  
C 
palm
 
And all  
G7 
things good  
F 
grew on Jason's  
C 
Farm
Spoken:
Now the Lord gives and he takes away and to all men this is true
 
And  
G7 
most of us accept it and we  
C 
learn to live it through
God gave a child to Jason an extension of his life
 
But in  
G7 
doing so He traded the  
F 
child for Jason's  
C 
wife
The crops are rotting in the fields the land left unattended
 
And  
G7 
somewhere Jason roams the earth his  
C 
wounded heart unmended
And the house is slowly falling down and the dust of Jason's yard
 
A  
G7 
monument to a man who shunned his  
F 
child and cursed his  
C 
God
 
And nothing  
F 
grows no  
G7 
more on Jason's  
C 
Farm
 
The  
G7 
land once rich and green is dead and  
C 
dry like Jason's dream
 
And  
G7 
the wind that once blew sweet through Mary's  
F 
hand is strangely  
C 
calm
 
And nothing  
G7 
grows no  
F 
more on Jason's  
C 
Farm
