string bean - 20 cent cotton & 90 cent meat كلمات الأغنية

[chorus]
well, 20 cents a_cotton, and a_90 cent meat
how in the world us poor folks eat?
shoes up high and the cotton down low
how in the world we gonna raise the dough?

[verse 1]
soles wore out and the shoes run down
an old slouch hat with a hole in the crown
back’s nearly broken and the fingers all sore
cotton goin’ down, never rise no more

[verse 2]
well, 20 cents a_cotton, 25_dollar pants
now, who in the world has got a chance?
can’t buy no clothes, can’t buy no meat
got too much cotton and a_not enough to eat

[chorus]
well, 20 cents a_cotton, and a_90 cent meat
how in the world us poor folks eat?
shoes up high and thе cotton down low
how in the world is ‘gonna raise the dough?

[verse 3]
wеll, 20 cents cotton, and a car_load of tax
the load’s too heavy for our poor back
we’re a good set of farmers, we all know well
but there’s something wrong as sure as “well, well”
[verse 4]
we all work hard we groan and sweat
but we never make enough to pay our debt!
fish quit fighting and the rabbits runnin’ fast
bought another mess of peas and it’ll be my last

[chorus]
well, 20 cents a_cotton, and a_90 cent meat
how in the world us poor folks eat?
shoes up high and the cotton down low
how in the world we gonna raise the dough?

[solo]

[spoken]
keep that up, five, and you’re headed for broadway

[verse 5]
well you grab up your hog and you take him into town
all he gets: 12, 15_cents a pound
but the very next day, you’re out to buy it back
90_cents a pound and a paper sack

[verse 6]
no meat in the smoke_house, no chicken in the yard
cow’s gone dry and i’m plumb out’a lard
well, no use talkin’ any man’s beat
20 cent cotton and 90 cent meat
