Song from A Cotton Field - Bessie Brown/Henderson's Hot Six[00:00:00]

Hey hee hi ho picking cotton all day[00:00:06]

Hey hee hi ho just a-picking away[00:00:11]

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

They knows gon' be no shirking[00:00:19]

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

Ain't no use kicking 'cause I'll be picking[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 making it[00:00:37]

All my life white folks taking it[00:00:40]

This old heart they's just breaking 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[00:00:48]

I'll keep a-plucking away[00:00:51]

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

All day[00:00:57]

Just tell the world for me[00:00:58]

My soul's done set me free[00:01:01]

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

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

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

Just keep on working and praising[00:01:20]

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

Ain't no use kicking 'cause I'll be picking[00:01:52]

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

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

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

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

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

This old heart they's just breaking it[00:02:08]

Ain't got a thing to show for what I done done[00:02:11]

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

I'll keep a-plucking away[00:02:16]

Sing my song like I'm happy and gay[00:02:19]

All day[00:02:23]

Just tell the world for me[00:02:24]

My soul's done set me free[00:02:27]

That's the song[00:02:30]

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