Parchman Farm Blues
Well, the judge give me life this mornin'
Down on Parchman farm
Well, the judge give me life this mornin'
Down on Parchman farm
Well, I wouldn't hate it so bad
But I know my baby will mourn
Well now, good-bye baby, now
All you have done gone
Well now, good-bye baby, now
All you have done gone
But I hope some day
It will hear my lonesome song
Hey, listen all you men
I don't mean no harm, no
Listen all you men
I don't mean no harm, baby
Well, if you wanna do better
Got to stay off Parchman farm
I'm down on Parchman farm
I wanna go back home
Well, I'm here down on Parchman farm
I wanna go back home
But I hope some day now
That I will overcome
I will overcome
I'm bracing Almighty God
I'm bracing Almighty God
I will overcome
I will overcome
Hey, I will overcome
I will overcome
Down on Parchman farm
Well, the judge give me life this mornin'
Down on Parchman farm
Well, I wouldn't hate it so bad
But I know my baby will mourn
Well now, good-bye baby, now
All you have done gone
Well now, good-bye baby, now
All you have done gone
But I hope some day
It will hear my lonesome song
Hey, listen all you men
I don't mean no harm, no
Listen all you men
I don't mean no harm, baby
Well, if you wanna do better
Got to stay off Parchman farm
I'm down on Parchman farm
I wanna go back home
Well, I'm here down on Parchman farm
I wanna go back home
But I hope some day now
That I will overcome
I will overcome
I'm bracing Almighty God
I'm bracing Almighty God
I will overcome
I will overcome
Hey, I will overcome
I will overcome
