Sharecropper's Son
Verse
GWe moved here from Summers when I was fourteen
Worked this poor ground for D7bacon and Gbeans
GThe landlord told me that hard times were near
Didn't mean a thing cause they're D7already Ghere
Chorus
Daylight till dark my work’s never Gdone
Lord have mercy on a D7sharecropper’s Gson
Verse
GMomma's got the fever and the baby’s sick Gtoo
Poppa’s uptown D7soakin’ up that Gbooze
GJust out of prison said he ain’t going back
Ain’t a blood hound in Georgia that can D7follow his Gtrack
Verse
GWe bought a new mule brought him up from down Gsouth
He'd kick the chew' tobacco right D7out of your Gmouth
GWater in the well is barely out of Gsight
Can’t take a bath on a D7Saturday Gnight
Verse
GOur crops are all wilted no rain day or Gnight
The preacher's here for dinner we D7ain't got a Gbite
GEleven in the family, ten daughter's and a son
And momma just told us there'd D7be another Gone
