[00:20.47] Back before the blues were blue
[00:22.92]
[00:23.67] When the good ol' songs were new
[00:26.80]
[00:28.05] Songs that may no longer please us
[00:30.92]
[00:31.92] 'Bout the darkies, about Jesus
[00:35.16]
[00:35.91] Mississippi minstrels color of molasses
[00:39.79]
[00:40.48] Strummed their banjos to entertain their massas
[00:43.93] Some said garbage, others cried art
[00:47.50] You couldn't call it soul, you had to call it heart
[00:51.20]
[00:54.26] Backs broke bending digging holes to plant the seeds
[00:57.82]
[00:58.38] The owners ate the cane and the workers ate the weeds
[01:01.63] Put the wood in the stove, the water in the cup
[01:04.82]
[01:05.76] You worked so hard that you died standing up
[01:08.88]
[01:12.32] When I was a little thing
[01:14.86]
[01:15.99] Papa tried to make me sing
[01:18.93]
[01:20.11] Home Sweet Home and Aura Lee
[01:22.60]
[01:23.35] These were songs that my daddy tought me
[01:27.10]
[01:27.66] Camptown Races and Susannah Don't You Cry
[01:31.17]
[01:31.73] Gentle Annie still brings a tear to my eye
[01:35.34] Label it garbage, label it art
[01:38.03]
[01:38.78] You couldn't call it soul, you had to call it heart
[01:42.27]
[01:45.58] Backs broke bending digging holes to plant the seeds
[01:49.26] The owners ate the cane and the workers ate the weeds
[01:53.01] Put the wood in the stove, the water in the cup
[01:56.06]
[01:56.75] You worked so hard that you died standing up
[02:00.45]
[02:03.57] Sing me songs of days gone by
[02:06.44]
[02:07.19] Watch me laugh, watch me cry
[02:10.06]
[02:11.37] Break my female heart in two
[02:13.43]
[02:14.37] Sing me songs that say "I love you"
[02:18.11]
[02:18.73] Lower your eyes, raise your hand to your breast
[02:21.86]
[02:22.92] Sing me one about the sun setting in the west
[02:26.30]
[02:38.53] Backs broke bending digging holes to plant the seeds
[02:42.03] The owners ate the cane and the workers ate the weeds
[02:45.29] Put the wood in the stove, the water in the cup
[02:48.35]
[02:48.91] You worked so hard that you died standing up
[02:52.22]
[02:59.67] Wood's in the stove, water's in the cup
[03:02.91]
[03:03.98] You worked so hard that you died standing up
[03:06.72]
