[Instrumental Introduction] Well I'm sitting over here on Parchman Farm Well I'm sitting over here on Parchman Farm Well I'm sitting over here on Parchman Farm Never done no man no harm Puttin that cotton in an eleven foot sack Well, I'm putting that cotton in an eleven foor sack Well, I'm putting that cotton in an eleven foot sack Now, a twelve-gauge shotgun at my back I'm gonna be down here for the rest of my life Gonna be down here for the rest of my life, now I'm gonna be down here for the rest of my life And all I did was shoot my wife [Instrumental bridge] Up every mornin at the break a day Well, I'm up every mornin at the break a day Well, I'm up every mornin at the break a day And all I did was have my say Well, one a these days, I'm gonna leave this place One a these days, gonna leave this place One a these days I'm gonna leave this place I'm gonna go somewhere, join the human race Sittin right here for the rest of my life I'm sitting over here on Parchman Farm Well, I'm sitting over here on Parchman Farm And I never done nobody no harm [Instrumental Outro]
