The good earth swallows up the seed and swallows life as wellFrom long before the day you're born till heaven comes or hellIt binds your hands with chains of clay that are so hard to breakBut when I left good earth behind I made a big mistakeI've traveled far and traveled wideI've seen a lot of thingsBut looking back on all the yearsI don't know what they meanLike steel I'm probably strongerFrom going through the fireI kept on climbin' lowerDiggin' deeper to get higherI turned around one evening when the sun was going downI heard the bible told a preacher who just pulled into townAt last I'm back on good earth where I should have always beenLord forgive me if I ever try to leave good earth againWell the good earth was my mama and my daddy tooNow I'm working my hands in soil tryin' to pay my dueAnd when I'll breathe my last breath which may not be too longJust shovel a little good earth over my headTill everybody open up the hymn book and sing a happy songShall we gather at the river in the sweet by and byJust as I am jesus loves me one of these days I'll flyI'm standing on the promises lord build the place for meIn the good earth over jordan by the sea of galilee mhm
