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
