I plowed the fields...and i planted the seed
I worked my hands to the bone
But the ground lay barren...till he sent the sunshine
For i can do nothing alone
I raised the corn. and i rode to the mill
With the best crop i ever had grown
But the wheel wouldn't grind it...till he stirred the waters
For i can do nothing alone
I can do nothing alone
I'm weak and my master is strong
I held the pencil
But he wrote this song
For i can do nothing alone
And now as my years lead me into the valley
I've asked him to please come along
For i walk in search of...the good life hereafter
And i can do nothing alone
