Hans Theessink - A Hundred and Ten in the Shade lyrics

Way out here in the cotton Sun beatin' down so hard Sweat rollin' off of this shovel Diggin' in the devil's boneyard Sure like a cold drink of water Soft rag to soothe my face Sure like a woman to talk to in this place It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me Handle so hot I can't stand it Might shrivel up and blow away Noonday sun makes you crazy Least, that's what the old men say Bottom land hard as a gravestone Couldn't cut it with an axe Gonna lay me down right here And that's a fact It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me Sometimes late in the evenin' Everything is quiet and still I set here and think about leaving Lord I guess I never will Heartache down in that city Bright light scares me anyway Sure like a woman to talk to in this place It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me
