Cotton Bolls Lyrics by Killdozer

Little Baby Buntin’

1987

When I was just my poppa's son
He would beat me in the head with the butt of a gun
It was just about a mile or so
Down from where the corncobs grow
'Cause when the cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick a whole lot of cotton
When I was a lad I polished my wood
Poppa caught me in the barn, he whupped me good
Well that was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
Poppa got himself run down by a train
I shot him in the gut to end his pain
'Cause when them cotton bolls get rotten
Certain things get left forgotten
Back down home I didn't get much meat to eat
But the good ol' boys always got me to beat
When I was just my poppa's son
He would beat me in my noggin with the butt of a gun
(He won't do that no more)
