Yellow Barley Straw

Lyrics

He's got a heart made of yellow barley straw
 All wrapped up in calico patches
 And plum chuck full of love
 He looks out over the fields
 Every year's losses
 Every year's yields
 Every year's dreams
 A hundred bushels to an acre
 And tomorrow you know
 The bank is gonna come and take it
 Take it all away
 He got a letter in the mail
 It was only
 Why it was only yesterday
 But he just goes on believin'
 And you can't sow crops if the ground ain't even
 So he tills the soil
 He drills the seed till dawn
 His heart is made of yellow barley straw
 Barley straw
