I was a plowhand for forty years, I swore I would never plow no more

I'm goin' back to my plow, Lord, and a woman is the cause of it all
Yes, back to my plow now, yes, and a woman is the cause of it all
Now, she said "If you don't raise no cotton, oh, Lord, Bill we won't have no money in the fall"
I'm goin' git my honey, I mean my old mule too

Farmin' is alright, girl, if you know just what to do

Ev'ry night, I'm callin' John, Jake and Pat
Yeah, ev'ry night I'm callin' John, Jake and Pat
Now, I had a dream last night, oh, Lord, that old mule was in my hat
