Subject: Jody (work song) From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 23 Oct 99 - 04:16 PM This is the first song Barry and I did at our Prison Songs Workshop. It has the easiest "burden" (the part the group sings.
JODY
I've been working all day long,
We raise cotton, cane and a-corn.
(Follow pattern with these leads)
Back is weak and I done got tired,
Boss on a hoss and he's watchin' us all,
Wonder if the Major will go my bail.
BRIDGE:
I see the Captain sittin' in the shade.
We work seven long days in a row.
In the wintertime we get no lay,
When it gets wet in the cane field.
Yeah, yeah.
Two more months and it won't be long.
Goin' back home to my old gal, Sue,
Ain't no need of you writin' home.
First thing I'll do when I get-a home.
Gonna settle down for the rest of my life.
Six long years I've been in the pen.
Captain and the boss is drivin' us on.
If we had listened what our mama say,
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Captain and the boss is drivin' us on,
We had listened what our mama say,
Yeah, yeah. Roger in Baltimore |
