This year the boll weevil he lives 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 fussing 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
Cause 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
