[00:00:00] Song from A Cotton Field - Bessie Brown/Henderson's Hot Six

[00:00:06] Hey hee hi ho picking cotton all day

[00:00:11] Hey hee hi ho just a-picking away

[00:00:16] White folks knows I'm working

[00:00:19] They knows gon' be no shirking

[00:00:21] Hee hi ho I knows I'll get my pay

[00:00:26] Ain't no use kicking 'cause I'll be picking

[00:00:29] Till all my children is grown

[00:00:32] Then I'll shuffle and skip and scuffle

[00:00:34] To have a field of my own

[00:00:37] All my life I've been making it

[00:00:40] All my life white folks taking it

[00:00:42] This old heart they's just breaking it

[00:00:45] Ain't got a thing to show for what I done done

[00:00:48] But things get brighter loads get lighter

[00:00:51] I'll keep a-plucking away

[00:00:53] Sing my song like I'm happy and gay

[00:00:57] All day

[00:00:58] Just tell the world for me

[00:01:01] My soul's done set me free

[00:01:03] That's the song I'll sing till they put me under the clay

[00:01:09] Oh chil'en stop your grumbling

[00:01:15] Oh that's a block for stumbling

[00:01:20] Just keep on working and praising

[00:01:25] You'll see that you'll conquer someday

[00:01:52] Ain't no use kicking 'cause I'll be picking

[00:01:55] Till all my children is grown

[00:01:58] Then I'll shuffle and skip and scuffle

[00:02:00] To have a field of my own

[00:02:03] All my life I've been making it

[00:02:06] All my life white folks taking it

[00:02:08] This old heart they's just breaking it

[00:02:11] Ain't got a thing to show for what I done done

[00:02:14] But things get brighter loads get lighter

[00:02:16] I'll keep a-plucking away

[00:02:19] Sing my song like I'm happy and gay

[00:02:23] All day

[00:02:24] Just tell the world for me

[00:02:27] My soul's done set me free

[00:02:30] That's the song

[00:02:30] I'll sing till they put me under the clay
