We moved here from Sunhurst when I was 14.
Worked this cold ground for bacon and beans.
Well, the landlord told me the hard times was near.
Didn't mean a thing, [F#] because they're [B] already here.
Well, daylight till dark, my work's never done.
Lord, have mercy [F#] on the [B] sharecropper's son.
[F#] [B]
Well, mama's got the fever and the baby's sick too.
Daddy's downtown just a-soaking up that booze.
Well, he's fresh out of prison, says he ain't going back.
Ain't a bloodhound in Georgia that could follow his track.
Well, daylight till dark, my work's never done.
Lord, have mercy on the sharecropper's son.

He kicked the tin tobacco right [B] out of your mouth.
He's living in the family, ten daughters and a son.
