those fifty years

we've been through hard times living on the land

but it's the hard times that we understand

there's been laughter and there's been tears

but we came through those fifty years

we saw the boys grow

turn into men

heard the women say it'll rain again

we sang with joy

quick are the shears

yeah

we came through those fifty years

together

together

together for fifty years

dry weather

cold weather

rainy weather for fifty years

now there's grandkids and some will go

no guarantees with the seeds you sow

and we will nurture

tell 'em all we know

we'll watch them learn and we'll watch them grow

we've been through hard times living on the land

but it's the hard times that we understand

there's been laughter and there's been tears

but we came through those fifty years

yes

we came through those fifty years
