[Verse 1]
Back [C]before the blues [Fm]were blue
[C]When the good [D]old songs [Fm]were new
[C]Songs that may no [Ebdim]longer please us
[C]About the dark is about Jesus
[G]Mississippi minstrels col
[C]or the molasses
[F]Strum their banjos to
[C]entertain the masses
[F]Some said garbage, [Am]others cried art
[Ab]You coul[C]dn't call it s[G]oul,[C]
you [Dm]had to c[G]all it a[C]rt
[G]Bats go bending,
digging [C]holes to plant the seed
The [F]owners ate the cane
while the [C]workers [G]ate the [C]weeds
Put the [G]wood on the stove,
the [C]water in the cup
You [F]worked so hard
that you [G]died stand[C]ing [Dm]up[G]
[C]When I was [E]a l[Eaug]ittle th[Fm]ing
[C]Papa tried to [D]make me [Ddim]sing[Fm]
[C]Home sweet home and orally
[Am]Thes[C]e we[D]re the[C] songs
that my daddy taught me
[G]Camptown races and Susan[C]na,
don't you cry
Chan[F]nel Addie still brings a [C]tear to my eye
La[F]bel it garbage, [Am]label it art
[Fm]You couldn[G]'t call it s[C]oul,
you [G]had to call it [C]art
[G]Bags full, bending,
digging [C]holes to plant the seeds
The [F]owners ate the cane
while the [C]workers [G]ate the [C]wheat
Put the [G]wood in the stove,
the [C]water in the cup
You [F]worked so [Dm]hard
[G]that you [C]died [G]standing [C]up
Sing me songs [Fm]of days go[Eaug]ne by
[Fm]Make[C] me laugh, make [D]me cry[Ddim]
[C]Break my female [Ebdim]heart in two
[C]Sing me the songs that say I [F]love [C]you
[G]Lower your eyes,
raise your [C]hands to your breast
[F]Sing me the one about the sun[G]set
and in [C]the [F]west[Am][Abaug]
[C][F][C][Dsus4][G][C]
[G][C]
The farm[F]ers ate the cane,
while the [C]workers [G]ate the [C]wheat
Put the [G]wood in the stove,
the [C]water in the cup
You [F]worked so hard
that you [G]died standing [C]up
[F]Woods in the stove,
water[Am]'s in the c[Ab]up,
[Fm]you worked s[F]o hard
[G]that you died [F]standing [C]up.[C]
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
