I have walked down so many turnrows,
I can see them all in my sleep
I've walked down so many turnrows,
I can see them all in my sleep
Sharecroppin' down here in this dark muddy bottom,
with nothin' but hardtack and sorghums to eat
At 4:30 I'm out in the barnyard,
tryin' to hook up my poor, beat-out, raggedy team
At 4:30 I'm out in the barnyard,
tryin' to hook up my poor, beat-out, raggedy team
As my stock is dyin' of starvation,
and my boss is so doggone mean
There's got to be a change made around here,
people, I'm not jivin', that's a natch'l fact
There's got to be a change made around here, people,
I'm not jiving, that's a natch'l fact
I'm gonna jump up on one of these old poor mules and start ridin',
and I don't give a durn where we stop at.
