Ol' man seargent sittin' at the desk |
|
The damn ol' fool won't give us no rest |
|
He'd take the nickels off a dead man's eyes |
|
To buy a Coca-Cola an' a eskimo pie |
|
I got the blues, I got the blues |
|
I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues |
|
Oh Lordy Lordy spoolin's hard |
|
You know and I know, we don't have to tell |
|
You work for Tom Watson gotta work like hell |
|
I got the blues, I got the blues |
|
I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues |
|
When I die don't you bury me at all |
|
Hang me up on the schoolroom wall |
|
Place a bobbin in my hand |
|
So I can keep on a-workin' in the Promised Land |
|
I got the blues, I got the blues |
|
I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues |
|
Oh Lordy Lordy spoolin's hard |
|
You know and I know, we don't have to tell |
|
You work for Tom Watson gotta work like hell |
|
I got the blues, I got the blues |
|
I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues |
