Judge give me life this mornin' |
|
Down on Parchman farm |
|
Judge give me life this mornin' |
|
Down on Parchman farm |
|
I wouldn't hate it so bad |
|
But I left my wife in mourn |
|
Oh, goodbye wife |
|
All you have done gone |
|
Oh, goodbye wife |
|
All you have done gone |
|
But I hope some day |
|
You will hear my lonesome song |
|
Oh, listen you men |
|
I don't mean no harm |
|
Oh, listen you men |
|
I don't mean no harm |
|
If you wanna do good |
|
You better stay off old Parchman farm |
|
We got to work in the mornin' |
|
Just at dawn of day |
|
We got to work in the mornin' |
|
Just at dawn of day |
|
Just at the settin' of the sun |
|
That's when the work is done |
|
I'm down on Parchman farm |
|
I sho' wanna go back home |
|
I'm down on Parchman farm |
|
But I sho' wanna go back home |
|
But I hope some day |
|
I will overcome |
