We Don't Grow Tobacco

All these work that ever I've done
 Been beneath that burning sun
 So, holding that tobacco around to cure
 I would chop that wicked weed
 'Til our hands and fingers bleed
 I'm working like I'm you, baby boy
 We've been farming on this land since 1810
 Through the drought and pestilence and war
 Now I sure am sad to say
 That I would live to see this day
 And we don't grow tobacco around here no more
 We don't grow, we don't grow
 Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know
 We don't grow, we don't grow
 We don't grow tobacco around here no more
 Grandpa told me this, I know
 Change is coming, it won't be slow
 Knocking just like a thunder at the door
 Better feel the roar around
 Empty bonds just fall undone
 Where iron is coming up through the floor
 Once we grow it by the pond
 Now the kids are moved to town
 And all that's left are road and meat and corn
 Now I sure am sad to say
 That I will live to see this day
 And we don't grow tobacco around here no more
 We don't grow, we don't grow
 Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know
 Well, we don't grow, we don't grow
 We don't grow tobacco around here no more, oh
 ♪
 Woo, yes, I sure am sad to say
 This way of life has gone away
 Now that we don't grow tobacco around here no more
 Well no we don't grow tobacco around here no more
