Parchman Farm Blues

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