[00:11.45] Seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat
[00:13.74] How in the world can a poor man eat?
[00:15.98] Flour up high and cotton down low
[00:18.27] How in the world can we raise the dough?
[00:20.81] Clothes worn out, shoes run down
[00:22.97] Ol' slouch hat with a hole in the crown
[00:25.36] Back nearly broken and fingers all sore
[00:27.70] Cotton gone down to rise no more
[00:30.14]
[00:40.93] Seven cent cotton an' eight dollar pants
[00:43.01] Who in the world has got a chance?
[00:45.20] We can't buy clothes, we can't buy meat
[00:48.00] Too much cotton and not enough to eat
[00:50.28] Can't help each other, what'll we do?
[00:52.48] I can't explain it so it's up to you
[00:54.77] Seven cent cotton and two dollar hose
[00:57.17] Guess we'll have to do without any clothes
[00:59.41]
[01:05.11] Seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat
[01:08.23] How in the world can a poor man eat?
[01:10.37] Mules in the barn no crop laid by
[01:13.03] Corn crib's empty and the cow's gone dry
[01:15.52] Well water low, nearly outta sight
[01:17.87] Can't take a bath on a Saturday night
[01:19.91] No use talkin', any man is beat
[01:22.50] With seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat
[01:24.64]
[01:35.63] Seven cent cotton an' a forty cent meat
[01:37.67] How in the world can a poor man eat?
[01:40.02] Poor are gettin' poorer all around here
[01:42.50] Kids comin' regular every year
[01:44.65] Fatten our harvest, take into town
[01:47.09] All we get is six cents a pound
[01:49.53] Very next day we have to buy it back
[01:51.62] Forty cents a pound in a paper sack
[00:11.45] 七分钱的棉花四十分的肉
[00:13.74] 在这世上穷人何以果腹
[00:15.98] 面粉飞涨棉花暴跌
[00:18.27] 在这世上我们如何发得起面
[00:20.81] 衣烂鞋破
[00:22.97] 帽檐上有个洞
[00:25.36] 腰酸背痛手指抽筋
[00:27.70] 棉花暴跌 一蹶不振
[00:30.14]
[00:40.93] 七分钱的棉花八块钱的裤
[00:43.01] 在这世上谁还有机会
[00:45.20] 我们买不起衣买不起肉
[00:48.00] 棉花太多 吃的不够
[00:50.28] 无法互助我们能咋办
[00:52.48] 我没法儿说 所以看你的
[00:54.77] 七分钱的棉花两块钱的袜
[00:57.17] 衣不蔽体我们能干什么
[00:59.41]
[01:05.11] 七分钱的棉花四十分的肉
[01:08.23] 在这世上穷人何以果腹
[01:10.37] 骡子在空荡荡的谷仓里
[01:13.03] 食槽空了 奶牛也干了
[01:15.52] 井也快枯了 几乎看不到水
[01:17.87] 周六晚都不能洗澡
[01:19.91] 说也没用 每个人都精疲力竭
[01:22.50] 七分钱的棉花四十分的肉
[01:24.64]
[01:35.63] 七分钱的棉花四十分的肉
[01:37.67] 在这世上穷人何以果腹
[01:40.02] 在这里穷人愈穷
[01:42.50] 孩子渐渐中用
[01:44.65] 帮着丰收 带进城里
[01:47.09] 一磅只有六分钱
[01:49.53] 第二天我们就得买回来
[01:51.62] 四十分一磅 装在袋子里
