Theres a black wind blowing in the cotton field

Honey

Theres a black wind blowing in the cotton field

Baby

Theres a black wind blowing in the cotton field

And O' how funny it makes me feel,

Baby, sweet thing, darling

There's a long black cloud a hanging in the sky

Honey

There's a long black cloud a hanging in the sky

Baby

There's a long black cloud a hanging in the sky

Weathers gonna break and hells gonna fly

Baby, sweet thing, darling

Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill

Honey

Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill

Baby

Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill

Won't clear a greenback dollar bill

Baby, sweet thing, darling

Work shade and back to the buzzard wing

Honey

Work shade and back to the buzzard wing

Baby

Work shade and back to the buzzard wing

Clouds are gonna bust and cry down rain

Baby, sweet thing, darling
