sharecropper's son - ralph stanley lyrics
[verse 1]
we moved here from somewheres when i was fourteen
worked this poor ground for bacon and beans
the landlord told me, hard times is near
didn’t mean a thing ’cause they’re already here
daylight till dark my work’s never done
the lord have mercy on this sharecropper’s son
[instrumental fiddle break]
[verse 2]
mama’s got the fever and the baby’s sick too
papa’s uptown soakin’ up that brew
just out of prison, says he ain’t going back
ain’t a bloodhound in georgia that can follow his tracks
daylight till dark my work’s never done
the lord have mercy on this sharеcropper’s son
[instrumental banjo break]
[verse 3]
we bought a new mulе, brought him up from down south
he’ll kick the chew tobacco right out of your mouth
water in the well barely out of sight
can’t take a bath on a sat*rday night
daylight till dark my work’s never done
the lord have mercy on this sharecropper’s son
[verse 4]
our crops are all wilted, no rain day or night
preacher’s here for dinner, we ain’t got a bite
eleven in the family, ten daughters and a son
mama just told us there’d be another one
daylight till dark my work’s never done
the lord have mercy on this sharecropper’s son
