Back before the blues were blue[00:00:02]

When the good old songs were new[00:00:08]

Songs that may no longer please us[00:00:13]

'Bout the darkies about Jesus[00:00:19]

Mississippi Minstrels the color of molasses[00:00:24]

Strummin' on their banjos to entertain their massas[00:00:29]

Some said garbage some said art[00:00:34]

You couldn't call it soul[00:00:39]

You had to call it heart[00:00:43]

Backs broke bending[00:00:47]

Digging holes to plant the seeds[00:00:50]

The owners ate the cane[00:00:53]

And the workers ate the weeds[00:00:55]

Put wood in the stove and water in the cup[00:00:57]

You worked so hard that you died standing up[00:01:02]

When I was a little thing[00:01:12]

My papa tried to make me sing[00:01:17]

Home Sweet Home and Aura Lee[00:01:22]

These are songs that my daddy taught me[00:01:28]

Camptown Races and Susanna Don't You Cry[00:01:33]

Gentle Annie still brings a tear to my eye[00:01:37]

Label it garbage label it art[00:01:43]

You couldn't call it soul[00:01:47]

You had to call it heart[00:01:49]

Backs broke bending[00:01:55]

Digging holes to plant the seeds[00:01:58]

The owners ate the cane[00:02:00]

And the workers ate the weeds[00:02:02]

Put wood in the stove and water in the cup[00:02:05]

You worked so hard that you died standing up[00:02:08]

Sing me songs 'bout days gone by[00:02:19]

Make me laugh make me cry[00:02:25]

Break my female heart in two[00:02:32]

Sings me songs that say "I love you"[00:02:38]

Lower your eyes[00:02:45]

And raise your hand up to your breast[00:02:46]

Sing me one about the sun settin' in the west[00:02:49]

Backs broke bending[00:03:12]

Digging holes to plant the seeds[00:03:14]

The owners ate the cane[00:03:17]

And the workers ate the weeds[00:03:19]

Put wood in the stove and water in the cup[00:03:22]

You worked so hard that you died standing up[00:03:27]

Backs broke bending[00:03:31]

Digging holes to plant the seeds[00:03:34]

The owners ate the cane[00:03:36]

And the workers ate the weeds[00:03:38]

Put wood in the stove and water in the cup[00:03:40]

You worked so hard that you died standing up[00:03:45]
