(Verse I)
There are workers in the fields.
They bring the harvest in,
Send it out all over the land.
Look in your potato bin.
Do you see the hands of those
Who made it all begin?
(Chorus Refrain)
When you Give Thanks, Give Thanks for them.

(V II)
They work a long, hard day,
The sun upon their backs.
Overnight the rain,
Washes out their tracks.
They try to get some rest
So they can do it all over again.
When you Give Thanks, Give Thanks for them.

(Bridge)
For every bite you take,
Someone had to make,
The ground receive the seed,
And hope for the seed to take.
Until they leave this Earthly world
They'll make the earth serve them.
When you Give Thanks, Give Thanks for them.
When you Give Thanks, Give Thanks for them.
When you Give Thanks, Give Thanks for them.

(V III)
My folks all were farmers.
They farmed Kentucky hills.
Came out here from Prestonsburg,
Seeking fairer fields,
Left behind the coal mines,
And dust that sickened them.
When I Give Thanks, I Give Thanks for them.

(Bridge)
For every breath I take,
I've got Grandpa to thank,
For comin' up out o' the mines,
And movin' on down the line.
Until he left this Earthly world
He made the earth serve him.
When I Give Thanks, I Give Thanks for him.
(Coda)
When you Give Thanks, Give Thanks for them.
When you Give Thanks, Give Thanks for them.
