Merle Haggard - Cotton Patch Blues lyrics

Yeah, sittin' on this plow day dreamin' thinkin' of the weeks to come Ole cotton patch is hot can't think of a worse spot To be on a hot summer day Next week I will get my hoe down and hit the field at break of day That will be so sad my feet will hurt so bad When I chop the cotton all the day. Ole mule been a bawkin' they're tired of walkin' Up and down this cotton row so straight But they should pull their best cause soon they'll get a rest They don't have very long to wait. When the pickin' starts next fall I'll need my cotton sack that's all My back will nearly break from pullin' all that weight When I start to pickin' cotton next fall. There's them boys Elden, Tiny and Roy These ole mules been a bawkin' they're tired of walkin' Up and down this cotton row so straight But they should pull their best cause soon they'll get a rest They don't have very long to wait. When the pickin' starts next fall I'll need my cotton sack that's all My back will nearly break from draggin' all that weight When I start to pickin' cotton next fall. Oh Lord, yeah, cotton patch blues...
