Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 mama told me
This I know and I sing
[Verse 2]
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 mama told me
This I know and I sing, yeah
[Verse 3]
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 sure know and I sing, yeah
[Verse 4]
Well, the hawk that stoops the sparrow
It will not strike me
The hawk that stoops the sparrow
It will not strike me
The hawk that stoops the sparrow
Won't strike me
Like my grandma told me
This I know and I sing, yeah
[Verse 5]
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 mama told me
This I sure know and I sing
[Verse 6]
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 mama told me
This I know and I sing
[Verse 7]
Like my mama told me
This I know and I sing
