Sharecropper's Son |
| We moved here from somewhere when I was fourteen |
| Worked this poor ground for bacon and beans |
| Landlord told me, hard times is near |
| Didn’t mean a thing 'cause they’re already here |
| Daylight till dark my work’s never done |
| Lord have mercy on this sharecropper’s son |
| Mama’s got the fever and the baby’s sick too |
| Papa’s uptown soakin' up that brew |
| Just out of prison, says he ain’t going back |
| Ain’t a bloodhound in Georgia that can follow his tracks |
| Daylight till dark my work’s never done |
| Lord have mercy on this sharecropper’s son |
| Mama’s got the fever and the baby’s sick too |
| Papa’s uptown soakin' up that brew |
| Just out of prison, says he ain’t going back |
| Ain’t a bloodhound in Georgia that can follow his tracks |
| We bought a new mule, brought him up from down south |
| He’ll kick the chew of tobacco right out of your mouth |
| Water in the well nearly out of sight |
| Can’t take a bath on a Saturday night |
| Daylight till dark my work’s never done |
| Lord have mercy on this sharecropper’s son |
| Mama’s got the fever and the baby’s sick too |
| Papa’s uptown soakin' up that brew |
| Just out of prison, says he ain’t going back |
| Ain’t a bloodhound in Georgia that can follow his tracks |
| Our crops are all wilted, no rain day or night |
| Preacher’s here for dinner, we ain’t got a bite |
| Eleven in the family, ten Daughters and a son |
| Mama just told us there’d be another one |
