Better Get That Crop In Soon

BETTER GET THAT CROP IN SOON

Looks like it’s gonna rain
Ah, this day is very cloudy
Mmm
Mmm
Looks like it’s gonna rain
It’s gonna rain
This day is very cloudy
Massah
Massah, what
Massah, what is it gonna rain or not today you think?
Massah you think it’s gonna rain today?
Better get that crop in soon
Children
Hush there, baby
Hush there, baby
Better get that crop in soon
Hush there baby
Tell them babies to be quiet
Better get that crop soon
Tell them we’ll soon be out of the field
Blood, sweat, and tears
The sweat kept a running
The sweat kept a running
They were so tired
Mastah, Mastah do you think it’s gonna rain?
And Mastah finally replied
“More rain, more grass, more grass
More grass, more ass for me to beat”
“Get on back to work
Get on back to work”
He said
And the old woman fell to her knees praying
And moaning and groaning
Screaming
Massah snapped his whip
Snapped it one time
Two times
And the third time
That old leather whip
That old leather went across her back
Split, split her back wide open
Splitting her back wide open
And the blood ran off her back
She cried out
Oh, my Lord
Oh, my Lord
Mmm
Mmm
Slaves all over the field
Slaves all over the field
Just looking
