Tim Moore's Farm Lyrics - Lightnin' Hopkins

Yeah, you know it ain't but the one thing, you know 

This black man done was wrong 

Yeah, you know it ain't but the one thing, you know 

This black man done was wrong 

Yes, you know I moved my wife and family down 

On Mr.Tim Moore's farm 

Yeah, you know Mr.Tim Moore's a man 

He don't never stand and grin 

He just said, "Keep out of the graveyard, I'll save you from the pen" 

You know, soon in the morning, he'll give you scrambled eggs 

Yes, but he's liable to call you so soon 

You'll catch a mule by his hind legs 

Yes, you know I got a telegram this morning, boy 

It read, it say, "Your wife is dead" 

I show it to Mr.Moore, he said, "Go ahead, nigger 

You know you got to plow old Red"

That white man says, "It's been raining, yes, and I'm way behind 

I may let you bury that woman, one of these old dinner times" 

I told him, "No, Mr.Moore, somebody's got to go" 

He says, "If you ain't able to plow, Sam 

Stay up there and grab your hoe"
