- Driva' Man Lyrics / with translations[Abbey Lincoln]
Driva' man he made a life
But the Mamie ain't his wife
Choppin' cotton don't be slow
Better finish out your row
Keep a movin' with that plow
Driva' man'll show ya how
Git to work and root that stump
Driva' man'll make ya jump
Better make your hammer ring
Driva' man'll start to swing
Ain't but two things on my mind
Driva' man quittin' time
Driva' man he made a life
But the Mamie ain't his wife
Choppin' cotton don't be slow
Better finish out your row
Keep a movin' with that plow
Driva' man'll show ya how
Git to work and root that stump
Driva' man'll make ya jump
Better make your hammer ring
Driva' man'll start to swing
Ain't but two things on my mind
Driva' man quittin' time
Driva' man de kind of boss
Ride a man and lead a horse
When his cat 'o nine tail fly
You'd be happy just to die
Runaway and you'll be found
By his big old red bone hound
Pater oller bring ya back
Make ya sorry you is black
Driva' man he made a life
But the Mamie ain't his wife
Ain't but two things on my mind
Driva' man and quittin' time...
Driva' man he made a life
But the Mamie ain't his wife
Choppin' cotton don't be slow
Better finish out your row
Keep a movin' with that plow
Driva' man'll show ya how
Git to work and root that stump
Driva' man'll make ya jump
Better make your hammer ring
Driva' man'll start to swing
Ain't but two things on my mind
Driva' man quittin' time
Driva' man he made a life
But the Mamie ain't his wife
Choppin' cotton don't be slow
Better finish out your row
Keep a movin' with that plow
Driva' man'll show ya how
Driva' man'll make ya jump
Better make your hammer ring
Driva' man'll start to swing
Ain't but two things on my mind
Driva' man quittin' time
Driva' man de kind of boss
Ride a man and lead a horse
When his cat 'o nine tail fly
You'd be happy just to die
Runaway and you'll be found
By his big old red bone hound
Pater oller bring ya back
Make ya sorry you is black
Driva' man he made a life
But the Mamie ain't his wife
Ain't but two things on my mind
Driva' man and quittin' time...
