My daddy and my mama and me walkin' on this old burnt ground
|
Must be a hundred and three travelin' from town to town
|
|
Maybe we can find work today sweatin' in this old hot sun
|
Then we can buy something to eat before another day is done
|
The harvest has sure been slow the drought hit us hard this year
|
But daddy said we'd have to go winter mustn't find us here
|
So my daddy and my mama and me packed everything we owned
|
Put it in this old suitcase and left the place that we called home
|
Now daddy isn't gettin' any younger and mama bless her heart looked so sad
|
But we've always been a family with lots of pride
|
And thankful for everything that we've had
|
So I know that somehow we're gonna make it
|
It's gonna take me than this old drought to stop us you'll see
|
I've got a feeling the grass is gonna be greener for my daddy and my mama and me
|
My daddy and my mama and me...
|
My daddy and my mama and me just my daddy and my mama and me
|
