Old Crow Medicine Show - We Don't Grow Tobacco lyrics

Hardest work that ever I done, Been beneath that burnin' sun Was haulin' that tobacco 'round to cure. Oh we'd chop that wicked weed Till our hands and fingers bleed I'm working like a mule, maybe more We've been farmin' on this land since 1810 Through flood and drought and pestilence and war Now I am sad to say That I've lived to see this day And we don't grow tobacco around here no more! Chorus: We don't grow, we don't grow Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know We don't grow, we don't grow We don't grow tobacco around here no more! Grandpa told me, "This I know Change is coming, won't be slow Knocking just like a thunder at the door Better fields are all around Empty bars just fallin' down ... coming up through the floor" Once we growed it by the pound, Now the kids all moved to town And all that's left are... Now I sure am sad to say That I've lived to see this day And we don't grow tobacco around here no more Chorus: We don't grow, we don't grow It's still the only work will ever know Well, we don't grow, we don't grow We don't grow tobacco around here no more! Yes I sure am sad to say This way of life has gone away Now that we don't grow tobacco around here no more No we don't grow tobacco around here no more!
