Cotton Patch Blues
Oh
Yeah
Sittin' on this plow day dreamin'
Thinkin' of the weeks to come
Ole cotton patch is hot
Can't think of a worse spot
To be on a hot summer day
I hear you talkin', boy
Next week I will get my hoe down (oh)
I'll hit the field at break of day (yes)
That will be so sad
My feet will hurt so bad (that's right)
When I chop the cotton all the day
Talk on, brother, talk on
Mules been a bawkin'
They're tired of walkin'
Up and down this cotton row so straight
But they should pull their best
'Cause soon they'll get a rest
They don't have very long to wait
When the pickin' starts this fall
I'll need my cotton sack that's all (you said it, brother)
My back will nearly break
From draggin' all this weight
When I start to pickin' cotton this fall
Oh Jody
Oh fiddle, yeah
Mules been a bawkin'
They're tired of walkin'
Up and down this cotton row so straight
They should pull their best
'Cause soon they'll get a rest
They don't have very long to wait
When the pickin' starts this fall
I'll need my cotton sack that's all (oh)
My back will nearly break
From draggin' all this weight
When I start to pickin' cotton this fall
