Lyrics Winsboro Cotton Mill Blues - Pete Seeger
Down
in
Winsboro,
South
Carolina
There's...
some
person
put
some
new
verses
Uh,
to
the
old
"Alcoholic
Blues"
Old
man
seargent
sittin'
at
the
desk
The
damn
old
fool
won't
give
us
no
rest
He'd
take
the
nickels
off
a
dead
man's
eyes
To
buy
a
Coca-Cola
and
a
Eskimo
pie
I
got
the
blues,
I
got
the
blues
I
got
the
Winsboro
cotton
mill
blues
Oh
Lordy,
Lordy
spoolin's
hard
You
know
and
I
know,
we
don't
have
to
tell
You
work
for
Tom
Watson
got
to
work
like
hell
I
got
the
blues,
I
got
the
blues
I
got
the
Winnsboro
cotton
mill
blues
Now,
when
I
die
don't
you
bury
me
at
all
Hang
me
up
on
the
factory
wall
Place
a
bobbin
in
my
hand
So
I
can
keep
on
workin'
in
the
Promised
Land
I
got
the
blues,
I
got
the
blues
I
got
the
Winsboro
cotton
mill
blues
Oh
Lordy,
Lordy
spoolin's
hard
You
know
and
I
know,
we
don't
have
to
tell
You
work
for
Tom
Watson,
gotta
work
like
hell
