goin' back to florida - lightnin' hopkins lyrics
[verse 1]
goin’ back in florida
where you got to plow, you got to hoe
goin’ back in florida
where you got to plow, you got to hoe
you gotta do one of the two
’cause you know somebody’s got to go
[verse 2]
i ain’t gonna pick no cotton
i ain’t gonna pull no corn
after the mule go run away to the woods
i’m gonna tell ’em to go head on
’cause i ain’t gonna pick no cotton
god knows i ain’t gonna pull no corn
if i catch a mule run away with the woods
poor lightnin’, he gonna tell ’em to go head on
[verse 3]
my baby got sleepy, she began to gab
she said “get up, sam
you’re sittin’ in my lap”
i said “no, no no, baby no”
yes if a mule gonna run away the woods
i wouldn’t even tell that mule
and i don’t be jokin’
[verse 4]
i’m gettin’ 40 cents a 100
paid for me and my wife, too
when i learned my lesson, you don’t know
what i had to do, now i couldn’t do nothin’
woah man, keep that sack on the scale
you know the man was payin’ my checks
everytime i wail, oh yes, he keepin’ check of the bills
