Brown dirt, stickin' to my fingers
|
Brown dirt, clingin' to my feet
|
Brown dirt, Mississippi bottom land
|
Pickin' that cotton for the man down the street
|
Brown dirt, raisin' his vegetables
|
Brown dirt, growin' his grass
|
Brown dirt, walkin' down the pathway
|
Pickin' that cotton now I hope it is my last
|
Brown dirt, somebody told me, be the last place you lay
|
Brown dirt, cover my body
|
I'll soon be the cotton that's grown another day
|
Brown dirt wet, you're sinkin'
|
Brown dirt dry, you dust
|
Brown dirt, I've been thinkin'
|
We'll all come to you and we won't be the first
|
Brown dirt, somebody told me, be the last place you lay
|
Cover my body
|
I'll soon be the cotton that's grown another day
|
If a stick moves, it's a snake
|
If a water is still, it's a lake
|
If you harm yourself, you know it hurts
|
Final destination, brown dirt
