The Way I Talk

Oh sharecropper daughter She sings the blues of a coal miner's son She said that I know what you're thinking when you hear the way I talk When you hear the way I talk When you hear the way I talk She said that I know what you're thinking when you hear the way I talk When you hear the way I talk When you hear the way I talk And her brother's back at home tending to her daddy's land He's farming for the businessman Who takes the profit from his hand With calculation to the dollar of a chemical demand No not in years took from a man Will you try hard to comprehend And her mother heard the devil on the midday radio She listened to him tell her she should have some more to show But he blamed it on her neighbor at the local dollar store A tale as old as time to turn the poor against the poor Oh sharecropper daughter She sings the blues Of a coal miner's son Oh sharecropper daughter She sings the blues Of a coal miner's son
