| Black wind blowing in the cotton field, honey
|
| There’s a black wind blowing in the cotton field, baby
|
| There’s a black wind blowing in the cotton field
|
| And oh how funny it makes me feel
|
| Baby, sweet thing, darling
|
| There’s a long black cloud hanging in the sky, honey
|
| There’s a long black cloud hanging in the sky, baby
|
| There’s a long black cloud hanging in the sky
|
| Weather’s gonna break and hells gonna fly
|
| Baby, sweet thing, darling
|
| Cotton’s pretty thin yonder on the hill, honey
|
| Cotton’s pretty thin yonder on the hill, baby
|
| Cotton’s pretty thin yonder on the hill
|
| It won’t clear a greenback dollar bill
|
| Baby, sweet thing, darling
|
| Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, honey
|
| Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, baby
|
| Work shade and back to the buzzard wing
|
| Clouds are gonna bust and cry down rain
|
| Baby, sweet thing, darling
|
| There’s a black wind blowing in the cotton field, honey
|
| There’s a black wind blowing in the cotton field, baby
|
| There’s a black wind blowing in the cotton field
|
| And oh how funny it makes me feel
|
| Baby, sweet thing, darling |
