Fire Broke Out

I don't talk the talk

I don't walk the walk

I ain't got your view

I don't whistle your tune

Got no hand to hold

But I've been told

Put your hands together and say a prayer

Say a prayer, it might take you there

Hey, papa, mama, say a prayer or two

Pray until my father got through, yeah

Hey, papa, mama, say a prayer or two

Pray until my father got through

Fire broke out in a field of corn

Now all the farmer's corn long gone

Fire broke out in a field of corn

Now all the farmer's corn long gone

And things were tattered, things were torn

Fire broke out in a field of corn, yeah

Hey, papa, mama, say a prayer or two

Pray until my father got through, yeah

Hey, papa, mama, say a prayer or two

Pray until my father got through

Now, Matthew, John and his son too

All gathered 'round when they heard the news

And people come from near and far

They brought their hands together and they prayed real hard

They prayed real hard

Grapped and clapped

Prayed the devil would burn to black

Farmer, he cursed, and he walked around

Only thing to do is lay a good seed down

You lay a good seed down

Dig it in the ground

Give a little bit of water, a little bit of love

Some sunshine from the sky above
