Tim Moore'S Farm (Tom Moore Blues) (1948) |
Yeah, you know it ain’t but the one thing, you know |
This black man done was wrong |
Yeah, you know it ain’t but the one thing, you know |
This black man done was wrong |
Yes, you know I moved my wife and family down |
On Mr. Tim Moore’s farm |
Yeah, you know Mr. Tim Moore’s a man |
He don’t never stand and grin |
He just said, «Keep out of the graveyard, I’ll save you from the pen» |
You know, soon in the morning, he’ll give you scrambled eggs |
Yes, but he’s liable to call you so soon |
You’ll catch a mule by his hind legs |
Yes, you know I got a telegram this morning, boy |
It read, it say, «Your wife is dead» |
I show it to Mr. Moore, he said, «Go ahead, nigger |
You know you got to plow old Red» |
That white man says, «It's been raining, yes, and I’m way behind |
I may let you bury that woman, one of these old dinner times» |
I told him, «No, Mr. Moore, somebody’s got to go» |
He says, «If you ain’t able to plow, Sam |
Stay up there and grab your hoe» |
