[verse 1]
G
And there was a time not long ago
G
When the sun did shine
G
And the sowers sowed
C
And the rain did rain
C
And the crops did grow
G
It was a time before machinery
G
A time before certainty
G
A time before we bought the lie
C
A time before the farmer died
C
When we had trusting hearts and human soul
G C G
It was a time not very long ago
