There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, honey |
|
There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, baby |
|
There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field |
|
And o' how funny it makes me feel |
|
Baby, sweet thing, darling |
|
There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky, honey |
|
There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky, baby |
|
There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky |
|
Weather's gonna break and hells gonna fly |
|
Baby, sweet thing, darling |
|
Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill, honey |
|
Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill, baby |
|
Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill |
|
Won't clear a greenback dollar bill |
|
Baby, sweet thing, darling |
|
Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, honey |
|
Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, baby |
|
Work shade and back to the buzzard wing |
|
Clouds are gonna bust and cry down rain |
|
Baby, sweet thing darling |
