The Family Bible And The Farmer's Almanac Lyrics - Randy Travis

(Lee Thomas Miller/Bob Regan) 

My father's father was the wisest man I ever knew 

Sixty years of education 

Seven years of school 

Farming kept his body strong 

At night the only books he owned 

Kepted his mind sharp as a tack 

The family bible and the farmer's almanac 

When to plant 

When to havest 

How you weed just what you sow 

When to look for rain and who to turn to when it don't 

There was a plan for defrost 

Salvation for the lost 

Words to live and die by front to back 

The family bible and the farmer's almanac

One came from his mother 

Handed down the day she died 

The co-op sent the other 

Every year at christmastime 

He knew the seasons to the day 

Knew Paul and Peter by first name 

He could answer any question he was asked 

With the family bible and the farmer's almanac 

When to plant 

When to havest 

How you weed just what you sow 

When to look for rain and who to turn to when it don't 

There was a plan for defrost 

Salvation for the lost 

Words to live and die by front to back 

The family bible and the farmer's almanac

He knew the way to get 

Through this life to the next 

While others spoke of faith 

He found the facts 

In the family bible and the farmer's almanac
