Cotton Patch Blues

(album: It's All In The Movies - 1976)

Yeah, sitting on this plow day dreaming thinking of the weeks to come
Ole cotton patch is hot can't think of a worse spot
To be on a hot summer day
Next week I will get my hoe down and hit the field at break of day
That will be so sad my feet will hurt so bad
When I chop the cotton all the day.

Ole mule been a bawking they're tired of walking
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 picking starts next fall
I'll need my cotton sack that's all
My back will nearly break from pulling all that weight
When I start to picking cotton next fall.

There's them boys Elden, Tiny and Roy

These ole mules been a bawking they're tired of walking
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 picking starts next fall
I'll need my cotton sack that's all
My back will nearly break from dragging all that weight
When I start to picking cotton next fall.

Oh Lord, yeah, cotton patch blues...
