Lyrics

The little bee suck the blossom
The big bee make the honey
I do all the hard work
But my boss he takes all the money
That's why I've got to leave this country, boy
Lord and go to some big town
You know I've got to leave this country, boy
Lord knows that I've got to put it down
I chop cotton all the summer
And pick cotton all the fall
Then I jump up on an old tractor
And cut stalks just like a dog
That's why I've got to leave this country, boy
Lord and go to some big town
You know I've got to leave this country, boy
Lord knows I've got to put it down
I walked up to my boss man
And ask him for my pay
He said "You ain't got nothin' coming, son."
And then he run poor me away
That's why I've got to leave this country, boy
Lord and go to some big town
You know I've got to leave this country, boy
Lord knows I've got to put it down
