Sharecropper's Son |
Well, We moved here from Summers when I was 14 |
Worked this poor ground for bacon and beans |
Landlord told me that hard times were near |
Didn’t mean a thing cause they’re already here |
Daylight till dark my works never done |
Lord have mercy on the sharecropper’s Son.) |
My Mama’s got the fever, and the babies sick too |
Daddy’s down town just soakin' in the boo’s |
He’s just out of prison and he ain’t going back |
And a blood hound in Georgia can’t follow his track |
We bought a new Mule brought him up from down south |
He can kick tobacco right of your mouth |
There’s water in the well and its barely out of sight |
And i can’t take a bath on a Saturday night |
Now the crops are all weathered no rain day or night |
The preachers here for dinner we ain’t got a bite |
There’s a (??) in our family ten daughter’s and a son and papa just told me |
there’d be another one |
