| When you go to work well you work like the devil |
| At the end of the week you’re not on the level |
| Payday comes, you ain’t got a penny |
| 'Cause when you pay your bills you got so many |
| I’m a-gonna starve and everybody will |
| 'Cause you can’t make a livin' in a cotton mill |
| When you buy clothes on easy terms |
| Collector treats you like a measly worm |
| One dollar down and the Lord knows |
| If you can’t make a payment, they take your clothes |
| I’m a-gonna starve and everybody will |
| 'Cause you can’t make a livin' in a cotton mill |
| Payday comes, you pay your rent |
| End of the week you ain’t got a cent |
| To buy fat-backed meat, pinto beans |
| Cook up a mess o' turnip greens |
| I’m a-gonna starve and everybody will |
| 'Cause you can’t make a livin' in a cotton mill |
| Ashes to ashes and dust to dust |
| Let the rich man live and the poor man bust |
| We’ll never make it, we never will |
| As long as we work in a rounding mill |
| I’m a-gonna starve and everybody will |
| 'Cause you can’t make a livin' in a cotton mill |
