Testo Sharecropper's Son - Yonder Mountain String Band
Testo della canzone Sharecropper's Son (Yonder Mountain String Band), tratta dall'album A Decade of Yonder Live, Vol. 6: 2/9/2003 Carrboro, NC
We moved here from summers when I was fourteen
Worked this poor ground for bacon and beans
Landlord told me that hard times were near
Didn't mean a thing 'cause they're already here
Daylight to dark, my work's never done
Lord have mercy on a sharecropper's son
Mama's got the fever and the baby's sick too
Papa's downtown just soakin' in that booze
Well, he's just out of prison and he ain't goin' back
Ain't a bloodhound in Georgia can follow his track
Daylight to dark, my work's never done
Lord have mercy on a sharecropper's son
Well, we brought a new mule, we brought him up from down south
He'd kick the chew tobacco right out of your mouth
And there's water in the well but it's barely out of sight
And I can't take a bath on a Saturday night
Daylight to dark, my work's never done
Lord have mercy on a sharecropper's son
My crops are all withered, no rain day or night
Preacher's here for dinner and we ain't got a bite
There's eleven in our family, ten daughters and a son
Papa just told me there'd be another one
Daylight to dark, my work's never done
Lord have mercy on a sharecropper's son
