[Intro]
A-boom! Chk-chk
A-boom! Chk-chk
A-boom! Chk, chk
[Verse 1]
Uncle Walt? Hey, Uncle Walt. Do you hear me?
G
Your field hands are all gone, Uncle Walt.
How are we gonna grow that cotton?
"Well, I don't reckon we will, son.
I guess we'll get in touch with those fellers from New York who come down here awhile
back
And sell 'em those trees over there
And I reckon we'll let 'em build a cotton mill here."
D
Well, Uncle Walt let 'em build a cotton mill there.
G
D
And he built a three-story-high, red-brick, cotton-picking cotton mill.
[Verse 2]
While he was at it, they swept away Uncle Walt too.
He never did know much about legal things like contracts and fine print.
I was just a kid then, and one of the earliest memories of my childhood was the loom.
The loom, with the shuttle going back and forth, making cotton into cloth.
And it sounded like:
[Chorus]
A-boom! Chk-chk
A-boom! Chk-chk
A-boom! Chk, chk, chk
[Verse 3]
D G
1930 came along: violence, strikes.
D
A plug of chewing tobacc-er, couple pounds of flour and some fatback and molasses.
When they went back to work, they was making six dollars a week.
But not until Clarence Carter- Clarence was Walt Carter's boy, lived next door
Not until Clarence Carter got on this newfangled thing called an elevator
And it fell with him in the cotton mill.
D
Then, they took him away again.
And Clarence'll never have to worry about that:
[Chorus]
A-boom! Chk-chk
A-boom! Chk-chk
A-boom! Chk, chk, chk
[Verse 4]
D
He won't hear it anymore.
D
Then there was Sarah that lived down the street.
G D
Man, it's worse than a coal mine. Six dollars a week.
D
Something like: (*long, wheezing cough*)
[Verse 5]
D
Well, the big year: 1932.
G D
A7 D
D
G
And the National Guard throwing cigarettes down like they was going out of style.
A7
When they could beat the men to 'em.
[Verse 6]
They finally fixed that elevator, after it fell with a National Guard lieutenant.
I guess everything works out for the best after all.
And all the time we were living there
Listening day and night to that sound... that awful sound.
[Chorus]
A-boom! Chk, chk
A-boom! Chk, chk
A-boom! Chk, chk, chk, chk
