Sharecropper’s Son

Ain't no time for education

Too much corn in the field

Ain't got time to go to school, y'all

We got too much work around here

Never had time for playin'

Never had to have no fun

Too much cotton needs haulin'

And that's too much, probably be done

It was hard, but it was fair

We was always out there

Out in the red hot sun

'Cause the work was never done

For a sharecropper's son, yeah

Workin' from kin to cane

Out in the heat of the day

Me and my brothers, we was prayin' for rain

'Cause we still gotta haul that hay

It was hard, but it was fair

We was always out there

Out in the red hot sun

For all the work was never done

For a sharecropper's son

It wasn't easy

'Cause the work was never done

It wasn't easy

For a sharecropper's son

For a sharecropper's son

It ain't easy

'Cause the work ain't never done

It ain't easy

For a sharecropper's son

For a sharecropper's son

For a sharecropper's son
