Winsborro Cotton Mill Blues |
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 |
