I have gee’d and haw’d
Myself into a tizzy
I am yearning for the turning
In the most peculiar way
Blame it on my jeans
Caked in tenant farming
But I can’t stand for idle hands
As the hours waste away
Let your love light shine
Don’t ya hide it ‘neath no bushel, baby
Take ‘at wick to task
And work me all night ‘neath 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
Working one way then the other
I don’t run around in circles
I work right on up the side
Startin’ at the foot
Going past the shoulder
‘Til the sweat erodes
And the whole hill slides
Let your love light shine
Don’t ya hide it ‘neath no bushel, baby
Take ‘at wick to task
And work me all night ‘neath 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 have gee’d and haw’d
For you and and it sure suits me
I am pawing with impatience
At the thought of tracing chains
I have grit my bit
Right in half from just a thinkin’
Of gettin’ hunkered down
Tryin’ to get up through the hames
Let your love light shine
Don’t ya hide it ‘neath no bushel, baby
Take ‘at wick to task
And work me all night ‘neath 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
