Tampa Red - Cotton Seed Blues
They said that the whole world turned red
When the sun go down
They said the whole world turned red
Then my mind falls on what my dear old mother have said
"I ain't gonna make no more cotton, I'll tell you why I said so
I ain't gonna make no more cotton, I'll tell you why I said so
You don't get nothing for your seeds, and cotton price so doggone low"
The boss say "go to the commisary and get anything you need"
The boss say "go to the commisary and get anything you need"
"You don't have to have no money", he said "I would take it out of your seeds"
Making a good cotton crop is just like shooting dice
Making a good cotton crop is just like shooting dice
Aftеr you work hard all the year round, cotton still won't be at no pricе
Lord I plowed all the summer, till the sun it burned my skin
I plowed all the summer, till the sun it burned my skin
And then cotton sold for 12.5 cents, you know it won't a way for me to win
