Twenty-five years on the farm
Will take the starch out of
Every loud, shrill false alarm,
Now tuned to gentle love.
Through years of hot, dry winds, and through
Years of steady rain,
Fortune has been good to you
In having love remain.
Fortune has been good to you
Through much hard work and pain,
Having love remain.
