Songtexte County Farm Blues - Son House

Down South, when you do anything, that's wrong
Down South, when you do anything, that's wrong
Down South, when you do anything, that's wrong
They'll sure put you down on the country farm1

Put you down under a man they call "Captain Jack"
Put you under a man called "Captain Jack"
Put you under a man they call "Captain Jack"
He" sure write his name up and down your back

Put you down in a ditch with a great long spade
Put you down in a ditch with a great long spade
Put you down in a ditch with a great long spade
Wish to God that you hadn't never been made

On a Sunday the boys be lookin' sad
On a Sunday the boys'll be lookin' sad
On a Sunday the boys be lookin' sad
Just wonderin' about how much time they had
