This year the boll weevil, he lived in my cotton The big river flooded out my corn in the bottom Talk about a man with troubles I've got 'em But you've been mighty good to me Lord, you've been mighty good to me My barn burned down and it was nearly new A rat must of gnawed the wires in two But don't get me wrong I'm not fussin' at you For you've been mighty good to me Lord, you've been mighty good to me Lord, you've been mighty good to me You've let me keep my family To me you never have been rude You keep my table filled with food And I thank you every night and day But I don't, enough I should say Lord, you've been mighty good to me My best horse fell and broke both hind legs What chickens I have they won't lay any eggs But you know, Lord, I never borrow or beg For you've been mighty good to me Lord, you've been mighty good to me (Lord, you've been mighty good to me You've let me keep my family To me you never have been rude You keep my table filled with food) My best horse fell and broke both hind legs What chickens I have they won't lay any eggs But you know, Lord, I never borrow or beg For you've been mighty good to me Yes, you've been mighty good to me You've been mighty good to me Lord, you've been mighty good to me You've been mighty good to me Lord, you've been mighty good to me...
