A Hundred And Ten In The Shade

Way out here in the cotton
 Sun beatin' down so hard
 Sweat rollin' of this shovel
 Diggin' in the devil's boneyard
 Sure like a cool drink of water
 Soft rag to soothe my face
 Sure like a woman to talk to in this place
 It's a hundred and ten
 Hundred and ten in the shade
 Goin' way down, mama, won't you carry me
 Handle so hot I can't stand it
 Might shrivel up and blow away
 Noonday sun make you crazy
 Least, that's what the old men say
 Bottom land hard as a gravestone
 Couldn't cut it with an axe
 Gonna lay me down right here
 And that's a fact
 It's a hundred and ten
 Hundred and ten in the shade
 Goin' way down, mama, won't you carry me
 It's a hundred and ten
 Hundred and ten in the shade
 Goin' way down, mama, won't you carry me
 ♪
 Sometimes late in the evenin'
 Everything is quiet and still
 I set here and think about leavin'
 Lord, I guess I never will
 Heartache down in that city
 Bright light scares me anyway
 Sure like a woman to talk in this place
 It's a hundred and ten
 Hundred and ten in the shade
 Goin' way down, mama, won't you carry me
 It's a hundred and ten
 Hundred and ten in the shade
 Goin' way down, mama, won't you carry me
 It's a hundred and ten
 Hundred and ten in the shade
 Goin' way down, mama, won't you carry me
 It's a hundred and ten
 Hundred and ten in the shade
 Goin' way down, mama, won't you carry me
 It's a hundred and ten
 Hundred and ten in the shade
 Goin' way down, mama
