Driva man he made a life

But the Mamie ain't his wife

Choppin' cotton don't be slow

Better finish out your row

Ain't but two things on your mind

Driva man and quittin' time

Get to work and root that stump

Driva man'll make ya jump

Better make that hammer ring

Driva man'll start to swing

Ain't but two things on your mind

Driva man and quittin' time

Get to work and root that stump

Driva man'll make ya jump

Keep a movin' with that plow

Driva man'll show ya how

Ain't but two things on your mind

Driva man and quittin' time

Driva man

Driva man

Driva man

Driva man

Driva man's the kind of boss

Ride a man and lead a horse

When his cat 'o nine tails fly

You'd be happy just to die

Ain't but two things on your mind

Driva man and quittin' time

Runaway and you'll be found

By his big old red bone hound

Pater oller bring ya back

Make ya sorry that you black

Ain't but two things on your mind

Driva man and quittin' time

Driva man he made a life

But the Mamie ain't his wife

Choppin' cotton don't be slow

Better finish out your row

Ain't but two things on your mind

Driva man and quittin' time
