Bukka White lyrics

Parchman Farm Blues blues lyrics

Judge give me life this mornin' down on Parchman Farm (2x)
I wouldn't hate it so bad, but I left my wife in mourn
Oh, goodbye wife, all you have done gone (2x)
But I hope some day, you will hear my lonesome song
Oh listen you men, I don't mean no harm (2x)
If you wanna do good, you better stay off old Parchman Farm
We got to work in the mornin', just at dawn of day (2x)
Just at the settin' of the sun, that's when the work is done
I'm down on Parchman Farm, but I sho' wanna go back home (2x)
But I hope some day I will overcome
