Lyrics for (Keep Eye On) Other's Grain

Others don't have a bed like mine they sleep out in the rain and others hearts are guarded from the blows of random pain but mama made my arm so strong and papa taught me oft and long that if you are to stay ahead keep eye on other's gain keep eye on other's gain and know there's only so much here upon the earth to go around and keep your loved ones near and keep your loved ones near and let them know just where you be cause others need you right near by just as you need me you need me at the table sitting down and nodding grace and holding you just by laying ksses on your face and kisses on your face and elbows to fend way your eyes and mouth from harmful blows and body from decay keep eye on other's gain and know there's only so much here upon the earth to go around and keep your loved ones near and keep your loved ones near and let them know just where you be cause others need you right near by just as you need me
