| Ol' man seargent sittin' at the desk |
| The damn ol' fool won’t give us no rest |
| He’d take the nickels off a dead man’s eyes |
| To buy a Coca-Cola an' a eskimo pie |
| I got the blues, I got the blues |
| I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues |
| Oh Lordy Lordy spoolin’s hard |
| You know and I know, we don’t have to tell |
| You work for Tom Watson gotta work like hell |
| I got the blues, I got the blues |
| I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues |
| When I die don’t you bury me at all |
| Hang me up on the schoolroom wall |
| Place a bobbin in my hand |
| So I can keep on a-workin' in the Promised Land |
| I got the blues, I got the blues |
| I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues |
| Oh Lordy Lordy spoolin’s hard |
| You know and I know, we don’t have to tell |
| You work for Tom Watson gotta work like hell |
| I got the blues, I got the blues |
| I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues |
