Goin' Back To My Plow

I was a plowhand for forty years, I swore I would never plow no more

Yeah, I was a plowhand for forty years, I swore I would never plow no more

Now, I'm a married man, now, oh, Lord, there ain't no more so and so

I'm goin' back to my plow, Lord, and a woman is the cause of it all

Yes, back to my plow now, yes, and a woman is the cause of it all

Now, she said "If you don't raise no cotton, oh, Lord, Bill we won't have no money in the fall"

I'm goin' git my honey, I mean my old mule too

I'm goin' git my honey, I declare I'm goin' git my old mule too

Now, I have really promised, oh, lord, I really got that to do

Farmin' is alright, girl, if you know just what to do

Farmin' is alright, girl, I declare, if you know just what to do

'Cause it killed my old grand pappy, oh, Lord, I declare I'm gonna make it kill me too

Ev'ry night, I'm callin' John, Jake and Pat

Yeah, ev'ry night I'm callin' John, Jake and Pat

Now, I had a dream last night, oh, Lord, that old mule was in my hat
