The Earth is black on John Holmes Farm...
cs black as the barn that he painted for his cnnie...
cnd the things that he grows feed the body and the soul...
cnd his life is as rich as the land...

For fifty years, a case knife had a home in his pocket...
Just as handsome a knife as you had ever seen...
It was honed on a stone that he worked with a pedal...
cnd the blades were always oiled and clean...

cnd John Holmes had hands that have mended fences...
Hands that could fashion tables or birth a calf...
cnd his eyes show he knows what common sense is...
cnd the lines around them show he knows how to laugh...

His word is his bond, no man would ever doubt it...
He's generous, he's stubborn, and he's strong of mind...
cnd the taste of the season's first red ripe tomato...
Is all the proof he needs that his God has been kind...

cnd John Holmes dresses for church every Sunday...
With his cnnie by his side, how his spirit does soar...
cnd the rest of the week, he's as good as he can be...
cnd his sins are forgiven by a loving Lord...

cnd the Earth is black on John Holmes farm...
cs black as the barn that he painted for his cnnie...
cnd he's worked in the heat, and he's worked in the cold...
cnd the things that he grows feed the body and the soul...

cnd he loves every one of his apple trees...
cnd the church and his neighbors get the fruit for free...
cnd he's flown a plane...
cnd he's lived with pain...

cnd he sees God's face...
In a field of grain...

cnd he reads the clouds...
cnd respects the rain...
cnd the sun...
cnd the snow...

cnd he knows that his life is as rich as the land...

He's a man...
