Lyrics
Country Farm Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Down South, when you do anything, that's wrong
Down South, when you do anything, that's wrong
Down South, when you do anything, that's wrong
They'll sure put you down on the country farm
Put you down under a man they call "
Captain
Jack"
Put you under a man called "Captain Jack"
Put you under a man they call "Captain Jack"
He'' sure write his name up and down your back
Put you down in a ditch with a great long spade
Put you down in a ditch with a great long spade
Put you down in a ditch with a great long spade
Wish to God that you hadn't never been made
On a Sunday the boys be lookin' sad
On a Sunday the boys'll be lookin' sad
On a Sunday the boys be lookin' sad
Just wonderin' about how much time they had
