(Bill Martin - Phil Coulter)
Sunday morning in the valley
We would gather for the service
Emmily Jane would run to meet me
She'd smile at papa kinda nervous.
All the people came from miles around
I can still hear the sound.
As they sang thanks to the Lord
For the sun up in the sky
For the corn that's growing high
And for the child that didn't die.
Thanks to the Lord
For the crops and for the farm
For the satrenght in my right arm
And for keepin' us from harm.
Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks
Thanks to the Lord for a girl like Emmily Jane.
--- Instrumental ---
Came the day that we were married
All our folks from the congregation
Emmily Jane was like an angel
The sweetest thing in all creation.
Papa hugged me and my mama cried
everybody smiled with pride.
As they sang thanks to the Lord
For the sun up in the sky
For the corn that's growing high
And for the child that didn't die.
Waylon Arnold Jennings (1937-2002) was a legendary American singer and guitarist, considered one of the pioneers of the outlaw country movement. Born in Texas, Jennings began his career in the 1950s as a supporting musician for various country artists. In 1964 he achieved his first success with "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line". Throughout the 1970s, Jennings emerged as a key figure in outlaw country, a movement that rejected the conventions of the Nashville Sound and embraced a more rock-and-roll and independent style. He collaborated with artists like Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash, forming the supergroup known as "The Highwaymen". His most important albums include "Honky Tonk Heroes", "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" and "Wanted! The Outlaws". Among his most representative songs are "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys", "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)" and "Good Hearted Woman". Jennings was an influential artist who left an indelible mark on the history of country music.
