Yes, I worked in a levee camp just about a month ago
Says, I worked in a levee camp just about a month ago
Says, I wired so many wagons, it made my poor hands sore
We slept just like dogs, eat beans both night and day
We slept just like dogs, eat beans both night and day
But I never did know just when we due our pay
They had two shifts on day and the same two shifts at night
They had two shifts on day and the same two shifts at night
But if a man wired wagons, he can't feed his baby, right
Yeah boy, yes, winding now
Oh, wind it
Electric lights gone out, catapillar's bogging down
Electric lights gone out, catapillar's bogging down
I'm going keep on winding because I'm the best old winder in town
