Sitting on this plow daydreaming
Thinking of the weeks to come
Old cotton patch is hot
Can't think of a worse spot
To be on a hot summer day
Next week I will get my hoe down
And hit the field at break of day
It will be so sad
My feet will hurt so bad
When I'm chopping cotton all the day
Mule that a-bawking
They're tired of walking
Up and down this cotton row so straight
They should pull their best
Cause soon they'll get a rest
They don't have very long to wait
And when the picking starts this fall
I'll need my cotton sack that's all
My back will nearly break
From pulling all that weight
When I start to picking cotton this fall
Mule that a-bawking
They're tired of walking
Up and down this cotton row so straight
They should pull their best
Cause soon they'll get a rest
They don't have very long to wait
And when the picking starts this fall
I'll need my cotton sack that's all
My back will nearly break
From pulling all that weight
When I start to picking cotton this fall
