on this cloud day dreaming,
thinking of the weeks to come
Oh, Cotton Patch is hot
Can't think of a worse spot to be
On a hot summer day
Nex t week I will
get my hoe down
And hit the field at break of day
That will be so sad
My feet will hurt so bad
when I chop the cotton all the day
Oh, Mule been a -balkin'
They're tired of walkin' up and down
these cotton roads so straight
But they should pull their best
Cause soon they'll get a rest
They don't have very long to wait
When the picking starts next fall,
I'll leave my cotton sack, that's all.
My back will nearly break
from pulling all that weight
when I start to picking cot
ton next fall
There's them boys Eldon,
Tiny and Roy
These old mules been a -walkin'
They're tired of walkin' up and down
in cotton rows so straight
but they should pull their best
cause soon they'll get a rest
they don't have very long to wait
when the picking starts next fall
i'll need my cotton sack that's all
My back will nearly break
from dragging all that weight
When I start to picking cotton next fall
Da -da, mm -hmm, oh lord
Yeah Cotton Patch Blues
