Yeah, sittin' on this plow day dreamin' thinkin' of the weeks to come
Ole 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
That will be so sad, my feet will hurt so bad
When I chop the cotton all the day
Ole mule been a bawkin', they're tired of walkin'
Up and down this cotton row so straight
But they should pull their best 'cause soon they'll get a rest
They don't have very long to wait
When the pickin' starts next fall
I'll need my cotton sack that's all
My back will nearly break from pullin' all that weight
When I start to pickin' cotton next fall
There's them boys Elden, Tiny and Roy
These ole mules been a bawkin', they're tired of walkin'
Up and down this cotton row so straight
But they should pull their best 'cause soon they'll get a rest
They don't have very long to wait
When the pickin' starts next fall
I'll need my cotton sack that's all
My back will nearly break from draggin' all that weight
When I start to pickin' cotton next fall
Oh Lord, yeah, cotton patch blues
