Oh singer sing me an old song yeah
|
Oh singer sing me an old song sing me an old song about cotton bales
|
Tell me how the good earth feels down in the high white cotton yeah
|
Cause in my life I'll never get to walk on my knees in the fields
|
|
Oh singer sing about the railroad
|
Sing about a coal shovellin' fireman on the L&N rail
|
Let me gather 'round the fire with all the people in the depot
|
Cause in my life singer I'll never ride those coal fired trains
|
|
Take me back oh singer take me back
|
I'm livin' a life I can't slow down cept with a song
|
And I wanna know how the people made it without the big corporations
|
And I wanna feel how the people lived when life was slow
|
|
Oh singer take me to the river
|
Let me ride the big river boat down to New Orleans
|
Let me lean overboard and wash my hands in the Mississipi water
|
Cause singer I can only ride that boat in a song you sing
|
|
Take me back oh singer take me back...
|
I'm Livin a life I can't slow down cept with a song
|
And I wanta know how the people made it without a big corporation And I wanta feel how the people lived when life was slow Oh singer sing me an old song yeah
|

|
Tell me how the good earth feels down in the high white cotton yeah
|
