Jason's Farm
Recorded by Cal Smith
Written by John Adrian

C
He bought three hundred acres ten miles south of town
  G7                         C
A drifter who decided it was time to settle down

There was no sea he had not sailed a sky he had not flown
        G7                               F                       C
And the only place he'd never been was a place he could call his own


He broke the soil and planted seed but the land refused to yield
    G7                                      C
And the loneliness he felt at night was the kind no man should feel

Till a woman came into his life a daughter of a soil
  G7                                   F              C
A bride that he could stand beside and ease his daily toil

       F          G7              C
And he called his kingdom Jason's Farm
    G7                           C
The land grew rich and green for king Jason and his queen
        G7                                      F                  C
And the wind blew sweet each night time as they lay in each others arms
        G7          F               C
And all things good grew on Jason's Farm


When the summer sun had finally gone and the harvest time was near
G7                            C
Jason's pretty Mary whispered magic in his ear

Then Jason's laughter filled the land and his soul began to sing
       G7                              F               C
And he boasted of a son his wife would bear him in the spring

        F           G7              C
And all things good grew on Jason's Farm
    G7                               C
The land beneath the skies turned as green as Mary's eyes
       G7                                   F                C
And he felt the child grow strong in Mary's womb against his palm
        G7          F               C
And all things good grew on Jason's Farm

Spoken:

Now the Lord gives and he takes away and to all men this is true
    G7                          C
And most of us accept it and we learn to live it through

God gave a child to Jason an extension of his life
       G7                     F                 C
But in doing so He traded the child for Jason's wife


The crops are rotting in the fields the land left unattended
    G7                                  C
And somewhere Jason roams the earth his wounded heart unmended

And the house is slowly falling down and the dust of Jason's yard
  G7                                F                    C
A monument to a man who shunned his child and cursed his God

            F        G7              C
And nothing grows no more on Jason's Farm
    G7                                   C
The land once rich and green is dead and dry like Jason's dream
    G7                                           F                 C
And the wind that once blew sweet through Mary's hand is strangely calm
            G7       F               C
And nothing grows no more on Jason's Farm
