Ain't gonna raise no more cotton
I'll tell you the reason why I say so
Ain't gonna raise no more cotton
I'll tell you the reason why I say so
Well, and you don't get nothing for your cotton
and your seed's so doggone low
Well, like raising a good cotton crop
just like a lucky man shooting dice
Well, like raising a good cotton crop
just like a lucky man shooting dice
Work all the summer to make your cotton
when fall comes it still ain't no price
(Oh now, oh help me pick right here boys
oh yeah, so dark and muddy on this farm)
I have plowed so hard, baby
corns have got all in my hands
I want to tell you people it
ain't nothing for a poor farming man
