Pete Seeger - Winsborro Cotton Mill Blues Lyrics

Lyrics Winsborro Cotton Mill Blues - Pete Seeger




Ol′ man seargent sittin' at the desk
The damn ol′ fool won't give us no rest
He'd take the nickels off a dead man′s eyes
To buy a Coca-Cola an′ a eskimo pie
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the Winnsboro 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
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues
When I die don't you bury me at all
Hang me up on the schoolroom wall
Place a bobbin in my hand
So I can keep on a-workin′ in the Promised Land
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the Winnsboro 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
I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the Winnsboro cotton mill blues
