Lyrics: Lightnin’ Hopkins, “Cotton” (1959)
By Lightnin’ Hopkins, Mack McCormick and Roy Eldridge
I don’t weigh but 95 pounds, 100 pounds is too much load for me to pull
I don’t weigh but 90 pounds, boy, 100 pounds is too much load for me to pull
I get straightened up in the field — “Hey! Stoop down Lightnin’, go ahead on boy and get
your sack full”
(spoken) They was talking about cotton
I stood straight up in the field, lookin’ around trying to find me some shade
Lord, have mercy, poor Lightnin’ trying to find him some shade
Poor mama sittin’ down with her pencil and paper
Figurin’ up every dime that the family made
