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]]> 2019-01-03 15:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/alock2/8dcsad92gozu/wish/317250322 Sharecropping in Mississippi alock2 https://padlet.com/alock2/8dcsad92gozu/wish/317250666 2019-01-03 15:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/alock2/8dcsad92gozu/wish/317250666 Jacob Lawrence: The Migration of the Negro, Panel no. 17, 1940-1941 alock2 https://padlet.com/alock2/8dcsad92gozu/wish/317250994 2019-01-03 15:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/alock2/8dcsad92gozu/wish/317250994 Dorthea Lange: Cotton sharecroppers.
