Pick a Bale of Cotton

Pick a Bale of Cotton

Jump down, turn around to pick
a bale of cotton;
Jump down, turn around to pick
a bale a day.*

Oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton,
Oh Lordy, pick a bale a day.

That nigger from Shiloh can pick
a bale of cotton,
That nigger from Shiloh can pick
a bale a day.

Me and my gal can pick a bale of cotton,
Me and my gal can pick a bale a day.

Me and my wife can pick a bale of cotton,
Me and my wife can pick a bale a day.

Me and my buddy can pick
a bale of cotton,
Me and my buddy can pick
a bale a day.

Me and my poppa can pick
a bale of cotton,
Me and my poppa can pick
a bale a day.

Takes a might big man to pick
a bale of cotton,
Takes a might big man to pick
a bale a day.

NOTE: A bale of cotton weighs about
a quarter of a ton.
