Burnin' The Woodshed Down
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.
Summer sun is swinging low
Out here in the cotton row
Surrounded by my sorrow
Summer sun is swinging low
Ain’t no mother from a brother and me
Lost her back in 63
Drowned herself in a sea of Jim Bean
Ain’t no mother from a brother and me
So I’m burnin’ the woodshed down
Going to burn it to the ground
Going to kick the ashes all around
I’m burnin’ the woodshed down
Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue
Broke his hickory stick in two
God only knows what I’m bound to do
Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue
So I’m burnin’ the woodshed down
Going to burn it to the ground
I’m going to kick the ashes all around
I’m burnin’ the woodshed down
I’m going to show that man just want I mean
Pour out this can of kerosene
I’m going to toss a match into the breeze
I’m going to show that man just want I mean
Hey I’m burnin’ the woodshed down
Going to burn it to the ground
I’m going to kick the ashes all around
I’m burnin’ the woodshed down
I’m going to kick the ashes all around
I’m burnin’ the woodshed down
