[ Featuring The Rain ]
Vs 1|It was late down in September|When Matthew was born|And the house had burned down|So They laid him in a manager out in the barn|And the cared for him thru |the long cold winter |they kept him safe and warm |And late at night you could hear his daddy prayin down on the farm|Chorus|Let the sun smile on the horizon|Let it rain down the tender leaves |Make it grow Lord until Lord until the harvest|And let our families feast till the spring rolls round again|Vs2|Now mathew lived by the fruits of his Labor|most all his life |And he never did fail |to help out his neighbor |and he loved his wife|And she cared for him thru the |long cold winter|He kept her safe and warm |And late at night you could hear them both Prayin down on the farm|Bridge |Now He's a little old man in his overalls |hat brim keepin the rain drops off |taking to the mailman wondering if his|check has come in |bragging on the Lord for lettin it rain |sprouts are comin thru the ground again|Vs3|Matthew lived for some 20 hard years |after emmy died|And it was early one spring |when they finally laid him down| by his lovers side|And the garden still grows |God bless the children |put strength within arms |Late at night you can hear them all |Down on the farm|Chorus|
