Years ago I had listened Noam Chomsky humming a couple of lines of a traditional song on radio. As I recall, these lyrics were about death row. In the lyrics. Woman in the field was singing "death man walking" while they were picking cotton. That is all I remember, I might be totally mistaken though. Any help to find the name and lyrics of that song will be appreciated.
