Maybe it's too late to help Henki, but I'll use any excuse to add to our collection of lyrics.

Lyrics copied (the hard way) from Rhapsody.com:

SHARECROPPER'S SON
Ralph Stanley and Carter Stanley

1. We moved here from Sunhearst when I was fourteen.
Worked this poor ground for bacon and beans.
Landlord told me that hard times are near.
It didn't mean a thing 'cause they're already here.

CHORUS: Daylight till dark my work's never done.
The Lord have mercy on this sharecropper's son.

2. Mama's got the fever and the baby's sick too.
Papa's downtown just a-soakin' up that booze.
Just out of prison, says he ain't goin' back.
Ain't a bloodhound in Georgia that can follow his track.

3. We bought a new mule, brought him up from down south.
He'll kick the chew tobacco right out of your mouth.
Water in the well nearly out of sight
Can't take a bath on a Saturday night.

4. Our crops are all wilted, no rain day or night.
Preacher's here for dinner, we ain't got a bite.
Eleven in the family, ten daughters and a son.
Mama just told us there'll be another one.

[As sung by the Yonder Mountain String Band. Also recorded by Larry Sparks, by Ralph Stanley, and by The Waco Ramblers.

[SHOUTING ON THE HILLS OF GLORY was also written by Ralph Stanley and Carter Stanley. I'll look for lyrics later, and probably post them in a different thread.]
