Thank Me Someday |
Down in Louisiana |
On a cotton plantation |
Little tent room shack |
And a third grade education |
Two stringed wood guitar |
I taught myself how to play, yes, I did |
Kept the whole family up all night |
And I told them that you’ll all thank me one day |
Yes, I did |
My sister would scream |
«Boy, you just got to stop |
You’re waking up the whole family |
Everybody is going to be hot» |
Two stringed wood guitar |
And I sure enough taught myself how to play |
She said, «Turn it down, Buddy» |
I said, «Shut up, you’re gonna thank me someday» |
You’re gonna thank me one day |
Did you hear what I said? |
That was sixty years ago |
Now my mom and dad is gone |
I go see my sisters and brothers |
And the grand-kids come along |
I give the little ones my guitar |
I tell 'em, «Close your eyes and play |
Don’t even worry about the neighbors |
Y’all gonna thank me someday» |
Down in Louisiana |
On a cotton plantation |
A little tent room shack |
And I only got a third grade education |
That’s why I taught myself |
I’m telling you that’s why I taught myself |
How to play, yes, I did |
I kept my family up all night |
And now they’re thanking me everyday |
Oh yeah, they’re thanking me everyday |
