Summer sun is swinging low
Out here in the cotton row
Surrounded by my sorrow
Summer sun is swinging low
Ain't no mother for my brother and me
Lost her back in 63
Drowned herself in a sea of Jim Bean
Ain't no mother for my brother and me
So I'm burnin' the woodshed down
Gonna burn it to the ground
Gonna kick the ashes all around
I'm burnin' the woodshed down
Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue
Broke his hickory stick in two
God only knows what I'm bound to do
Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue
So I'm burnin' the woodshed down
Gonna burn it to the ground
I'm gonna kick the ashes all around
I'm burnin' the woodshed down
I'm gonna show that man just want I mean
Pour out this can of kerosene
I'm gonna toss a match into the breeze
I'm gonna show that man just want I mean
Hey I'm burnin' the woodshed down
Gonna burn it to the ground
I'm gonna kick the ashes all around
I'm burnin' the woodshed down
I'm gonna kick the ashes all around
I'm burnin' the woodshed down
