Hey, Mr. Cotton Picker - Tennessee Ernie Ford

Hey yonder comes a cotton picker walkin' down the road

Puffin' like a locomotive, carryin' a load

Hey mister cotton picker, what’cha gonna do?

Gonna get gone away from you

Here is mister cotton picker passin' by my shack

Seems as if his back is breakin' with a cotton sack

Hey mister cotton picker, when you gettin' paid?

Reckon as soon’s the sack gets weighed

He’s been pluckin', old king cotton all day in the sun

About tomorrow, sweat’s forgotten

I’ve a-got another field that must be done

There goes mister cotton picker goatin' all his pay

Just a stack of snowy cotton, took him all the day

Hey mister cotton picker, hope you have a ball

Hope you get all that’s coming to you

Well a-yonder comes a cotton picker, comin' down the road

Puffin' like a locomotive, carryin' a load

Hey mister cotton picker, what’cha gonna do?

Gonna get gone away from you

Here is mister cotton picker passin' by my shack

Seems as if his back is breakin' with a cotton sack

Hey mister cotton picker, when you gettin' paid?

Reckon as soon’s my sack gets weighed

He’s been a-pluckin', old king cotton all day in the sun

About tomorrow, sweat’s forgotten

I’ve a-got another field that must be done

There goes mister cotton picker goatin' all his pay

Just a stack of snowy cotton, took him all the day

Hey mister cotton picker, hope you have a ball

Hope you get all that’s coming to you
