HOEDOWN

Hey now. Hoe now. Hey now. Hoe now.
Chop that cotton. row now. Oh. Oh.
…two, three, four. Hoe now. Hey now.
What you got to say, now? Tell me what you
said. What’s in your pretty head now.
Swing your partner. Oh. Allemande right. Oh.
All together now. All together now.
Gotta little work gotta do today
Gotta little work gotta do today
before I get my paycheck.
Hi, ho, here we go. Make some money and buy
some clothes.
Meet me at the dance hall.
Ha, ha, ha ha. Hoe, now. Hey, now.
Pick a bale a day. Oh yeah.
Sixty cents a hundred.
When I was a teenager, my mama said,
“You really know how to pick ‘em.” Oh, oh, oh.
Pick one bale and I make three dollars.
Oh, oh. bless my soul.
Bolls hurt my fingers and it makes me holler.
You got a june bug on your collar
I look at all the hungry people
I’m so hungry it makes me swaller
Hang it on the fence and it’ll dry be evening
Gotta get to town now
Bathin’ in the creek and I think I’m freezin’
Think I’, freezin’
When I was a little boy, my mama said,
“Now, son, you really know how to pick ‘em.”
Hey, now. Hoe, now. Hey, now. Hoe now.
Chop that cotton row now.
Woe. Vote for your sweetheart
Hoe, now. Hey, now.
What you got to say, now?
Tell me what you said.
What’s in your pretty head now?
Woe. Woe.
Gotta little work gotta do today
Gotta little work gotta do today
Before I get my paycheck
Hi, ho, here we go
Make some money and buy some clothes
Little bitty mouse runs across my banjo
Now I lay me down to sleep. My soul to keep.
I’m waiting. Waiting. Waiting…
