Charlie Williams - Silas Cain Lyrics

There once was a man his name was Silas Cain
Got down on his knees and prayed for rain
Well the rain it came and lord it wouldn't stop
River kept a rising and washed away his crops
Well the river took his barn as he led his mule away
Tore his little house apart lost it all that day
Silas had no money had no backup plan
He was just a poor hard working farming man

Silas Cain stood out in the rain
As the river swallowed up his farm
He said Dear Lord you know i can't afford
To lose everything this way

Silas said whatever you do be careful what you wish for 'cause it might come true
