Spanish tuning<br><br />
<br><br />
Boll weevil knocked down all my cotton, whoa peoples, I didn't even make no corn<br><br />
Boll weevil knocked down all my cotton, peoples, I just didn't make no corn<br><br />
Lord, I say my little family an' my wife just could not get along<br><br />
<br><br />
I say the worms cut my greens, we had all in search that year<br><br />
I say the worms cut down my greens, we had all trouble that year<br><br />
Well, I say me and my wife and family, you know, we's all here<br><br />
<br><br />
Well, we gotta do better, we gotta do better, peoples, I know<br><br />
We gotta do better, we gotta do things better, people, I know<br><br />
Well, I don't want my wife and family goin' on driftin' from do' to do'<br><br />
<br><br />
Well, I say now that's all right, things be better, Lord, after a while<br><br />
I say, it's all right, people, things be better after a while<br><br />
Say, my wife, she in good health, but I got one little poor little afflicted child<br><br />
<br><br />
I didn't raise no cotton, I didn't raise no corn<br><br />
I didn't raise no cotton, I did not raise no corn<br><br />
It must have been one o' them ole bad crop years, 'cause the boll weevil did come along<br><br />
<br><br />
You know, I'm talkin' about work now, woh people, that sho' is hard<br><br />
I'm talkin' about work now, peoples, you know, now it sho' is hard<br><br />
I was tryin' to raise my little family, woh man, somethin' got me barred<br><br />
