James Cotton Cotton Crop Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't gonna raise no more cotton
I'll tell you the reason why I say so
Ain't gonna raise no more cotton
Tell you the reason why I say so
Well, you don't get nothin' for your cotton
And your seed's so doggone low

[Verse 2]
Well‚ like raising a good cotton crop
Just like a lucky man shootin' dice
Well‚ like raising a good cotton crop
Just like a lucky man shootin' dice Waitin' all the summer to make your cotton
When fall come‚ it still ain't no price
Oh now

Oh help me pick right, young boy
Oh yeah
So dark and muddy on this farm

[Verse 3]
I have plowed so hard, baby
Corns got all in my hands
I have plowed so hard‚ baby
Corns have got all in my hands
I wanna tell you people
It ain't nothin' for a poor farmin' man
