Cows are in the corn The feeds all rotten A new day is born An ol one forgotten The lord and his plans Many times I fought em Raisin cotton, cotton, cotton
For forty long years, I sweat And I toiled In the sun Ive been seared Like to wither or boil I may well have faired better Drillin for oil Raisin cotton, cotton, cotton
Boll weevils in the field Got me down trodden Raised hell on my yields Nearin rock bottom Neighbors helpin hand Lord knows I wished Id sought em Raisin cotton, cotton, cotton Oh Raisin cotton, cotton, cotton
