The wind that shakes the barley, it will not shake me
The wind that shakes the barley, it will not shake me
The wind that shakes the barley won't shake me
Like my momma told me, this I know when I see
Well the fire that takes the kindling will not take me
The fire that takes the kindling will not take me
The fire that takes the kindling won't take me
Like my momma told me, this I know when I see
Ooooh heeeey hey hey
Ooooh ooooh-a hey
And the rain that floods the valley, it will not drown me
The rain that floods the valley, it will not drown me
The rain that floods the valley won't drown me
Like my grandma told me this I should know when I see
Well the hawk that stoops the sparrow, it will not strike me
The hawk that stoops the sparrow will not strike me
The hawk that stoops the sparrow won't strike me
Like my grandma told me, this I know when I see
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh
Well the dark before the dawn breaks, it will not bind me
The dark before the dawn breaks, it will not bind me
The dark before the dawn breaks will not bind me
Like my momma told me, this I should know when I see
Well the wind that shakes the barley, it will not shake me
The wind that shakes the barley, it will not shake me
The wind that shakes the barley won't shake me
Like my momma told me, this I know when I see
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh
Like my momma told me, this I know when I see
