Tattered

Tattered and torn a jaded mess Who could have done this I won't confess Chipped and broken and worn away Glue and paint for another day The barns on fire I smell the smoke Who could have done this? It's not a joke! Horses and cattle chickens and swine Let them all out they know they are mine Tattered and torn a jaded mess Who could have done this I won't confess The flames are spreading the crops are next Please God save our farm from this fiery mess Water and sand what ever will work Spread it and throw it hose it down good Tattered and torn a jaded mess Who could have done this I won't confess Grandma? Where's grandma? I don't have a clue Too much smoke and fire eyes burning what do I do? Gods' answered my prayers the rains coming down Now I see grandma safe and sound Tattered and torn a jaded mess Who could have done this I won't confess.
