[Verse]
D
Early every morning, late at night,
D
Just an honest old farmer, trying make my living right,
G A
I don't want to rob, I don't want to steal,
D G G D A D
They cut my cotton, that's the way I feel.
[Chorus]
G D
Been plowing so much, I got dirt here in my shoes,
A D
Guess I'll just die, with the price of cotton blues.

Worked all Summer, since early last Spring,
D
Raised plenty cotton, but I ain't got a thing,
G
All you farmers with your heads hung low,
D A D G G D A D
Just cotton papas ain't got no dough.
