Cotton Crop Blues - Original |
Ain’t gonna raise no more cotton |
I’ll tell you the reason why I say so |
Ain’t gonna raise no more cotton |
Tell you the reason why I say so |
Well, you don’t get nothin' for your cotton |
And your seed’s so doggone low |
Well‚ like raising a good cotton crop |
Just like a lucky man shootin' dice |
Well‚ like raising a good cotton crop |
Just like a lucky man shootin' dice |
Waitin' all the summer to make your cotton |
When fall come‚ it still ain’t no price |
Oh now |
Oh help me pick right, young boy |
Oh yeah |
So dark and muddy on this farm |
I have plowed so hard, baby |
Corns got all in my hands |
I have plowed so hard‚ baby |
Corns have got all in my hands |
I wanna tell you people |
It ain’t nothin' for a poor farmin' man |
