SOUP BEAN WINTER


[ Listen to Sonja sing ]
 
Times is hard
Times is rough
We always got a little 
But we aint got enough

Dont be waiting on Santa Claus
Cause he aint a comin this year

It Looks like a Soup Bean Winter on the farm
You know I cut enough wood just to stay alive
Keep my litle baby warm right by my side
all of us sleepin in two cold rooms
Water freezin in the bucket in the other room

And I'll be happy when spring time comes
I'll raise a little garden and have a litle fun
Run around half naked all day
sneakn out at supper time and play in the hay

It Looks like a Soup Bean Winter on the farm
You know I cut enough wood just to stay alive
Keep my litle baby warm right by my side
all of us sleepin in two cold rooms
Water freezin in the bucket in the other room

Maybe this year will cut enough wood
We got more to save if we could
Come on over
Its a soup bean winter

It Looks like a Soup Bean Winter on the farm
You know I cut enough wood just to stay alive
Keep my litle baby right warm by my side
All of us sleepin in two cold rooms
Water freezin in the bucket in the other room

Times is hard
Times is rough
We always got a little 
But we aint got enough

Dont be waiting on Santa Claus
Cause he aint a comin' this year
