Oh Singer

Oh singer sing me an old song yeah Oh singer sing me an old song sing me an old song about cotton bales Tell me how the good earth feels down in the high white cotton yeah Cause in my life I'll never get to walk on my knees in the fields Oh singer sing about the railroad Sing about a coal shovellin' fireman on the L&N rail Let me gather 'round the fire with all the people in the depot Cause in my life singer I'll never ride those coal fired trains Take me back oh singer take me back I'm livin' a life I can't slow down cept with a song And I wanna know how the people made it without the big corporations And I wanna feel how the people lived when life was slow Oh singer take me to the river Let me ride the big river boat down to New Orleans Let me lean overboard and wash my hands in the Mississipi water
