Song from a Cotton Field - Bessie Brown/Avon Cities Skiffle Group/Fannie Davis/Louis Metcalf[00:00:00]

Hey hee hi ho pickin' cotton all day[00:00:05]

Hey hee hi ho just a pickin' away[00:00:11]

White folks knows I'm workin'[00:00:16]

They knows gon' be no shirkin'[00:00:18]

Hee hi ho I knows I'll get my pay[00:00:21]

Ain't no use kickin' 'cause I'll be pickin'[00:00:26]

Till all my children is grown[00:00:29]

Then I'll shuffle and skip and scuffle[00:00:32]

To have a field of my own[00:00:34]

All my life I've been makin' it[00:00:37]

All my life white folks takin' it[00:00:40]

This old heart they's just breakin' it[00:00:42]

Ain't got a thing to show for what I done done[00:00:45]

But things get brighter; loads get lighter[00:00:47]

I'll keep a pluckin' away[00:00:50]

Sing my song like I'm happy and gay[00:00:53]

All day[00:00:57]

Just tell the world for me: My soul's done set me free[00:00:58]

That's the song I'll sing till they put me under the clay[00:01:03]

Oh chil'en stop your grumblin'[00:01:09]

Oh that's a block for stumblin'[00:01:15]

Just keep on workin' and praisin'[00:01:20]

You'll see that you'll conquer someday[00:01:25]

Ain't no use kickin' I'll be pickin'[00:01:53]

Till all my children is grown[00:01:55]

And I'll shuffle and skip and scuffle[00:01:58]

To have a field of my own[00:02:01]

All my life I've been makin' it[00:02:03]

All my life white folks takin' it[00:02:06]

This old heart they's just breakin' it[00:02:09]

Ain't got a thing to show for what I done done[00:02:12]

But things get brighter; loads get lighter[00:02:14]

I'll keep a pluckin' away[00:02:17]

Sing my song like I'm happy and gay[00:02:20]

All day[00:02:24]

Just tell the world for me: My soul's done set me free[00:02:25]

That's the song I'll sing till they put me under the clay[00:02:30]
