Know the blues ain't nothing

But a botheration on your mind

You know the blues ain't nothing

But a botheration on your mind

When you think your woman's gone

Your woman there with you all the time

I used to pick a whole lotta cotton baby

People used to say I pull a whole lotta corn

You know I used to pick a whole

Lotta cotton people

And I used to pull a whole lotta corn

I used to try to tell the city boy what to do

But a little after me he just couldn't learn

Ain't it wonderful to know what to do

Special when you at home

Ain't it wonderful to know what to do

Special when you at home

That's why I would raise the working Lord now

I tell mister mister Charley farm

I couldn't go to town till Saturday

Peoples I couldn't even spend my dough

I couldn't even go to town till Saturday

Peoples I couldn't even spend my dough

You know I would even get scared now

I was scared to go from door to door

Well alright

Well when I wasn't driving tractor

Baby I had me an old beat up team

You know when I wasn't driving tractor

You know I had me an old beat up team

You know I was down in mississippi

And people you know just what I mean

The work wasn't so hard

But my boss was so doggone mean

You know the work wasn't hard

But my boss was so doggone mean

But I had two pretty horses Lord

Two of the ones that you ever seen

Watch out Brother Robert

You know when you see me laughing

I'm laughing just to keep from crying

When you see me laughing

You know I'm laughing just to keep from crying

You know I done worked so hard

I can't get it off of my mind
