9 Foot Sack Lyrics by Tony Joe White

0

My daddy was a cotton farmer
He found a little place
40 acres on the river
Seven kids to raise
He never looked back
Made sure we was fed
We all were just happy
To have a roof over our heads
Wake up at daylight
Momma had the breakfast on
We ate like hungry wolves
Then walked out in the dawn
Picked up a 9 foot sack
And strapped it on
And stay out in the fields
Untill the day was gone
We was poor
But we didn't know it
Thе patches on our clothes
Only thing that showed it
Wе had food in the garden
Watermelon on the vine
A clean river for swimming
At quitting time
Take off the 9 foot sack
And lay it down
And stay out in the water
Till the sun goes down
