[Verse 1]
I have gee'd and haw'd
Myself into a tizzy
I am yearnin' for the turnin'
In the most peculiar way
Blame it on my jeans
Caked in tenant farmin'
But I can't stand for idle hands
As the hours waste away

[Chorus]
Let your love light shine
Don't ya hide it 'neath no bushel, baby
Take that whip to task
And work me all night 'neath the flame
I am yours to use
And I sure wish you would use me
Do not let my heart just fall apart
Rustin' in the rain

[Verse 2]
I'm a hillside plow
Workin' one way then the other
I don't run around in circles
I work right on up the side
Startin' at the foot
Going past the shoulder
'Til the sweat erodes
And the whole hill slides
[Chorus]
Let your love light shine
Don't ya hide it 'neath no bushel, baby
Take that whip to task
Work me all night 'neath the flame
I am yours to use
And I sure wish you would use me
Do not let my heart just fall apart
Rustin' in the rain

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
I have gee'd and haw'd
For you and it sure suits me
I am pawin' with impatience
At the thought of tracin' chains
I have grit my bit
Right in half from just a-thinkin'
Of gettin' hunkered down
Tryin' to get up through the hames

[Chorus]
Let your love light shine
Don't ya hide it 'neath no bushel, baby
Take that whip to task
And work me all night 'neath the flame
I am yours to use
And I sure wish you would use me
Do not let my heart just fall apart
Rustin' in the rain
[Outro]
Do not let my heart just fall apart
Rustin' in the rain
