From: LilyFestre

Wake up in the morning in the moonlight grey
We got dirt to break, we got a note to pay
Gonna plow, plow to the end of the row
Wake up in the morning and plow to the end of the row

Down to the kitchen with my feet still bare
Children to the table, papa say a prayer
Gonna plow, plow to the end of the row
Down to the kitchen, got to plow to the end of the row

Cornbreakd for breakfast, won't ya boil the grinds
Got to cut the furro 'fore the sun gets high
Got to plow, plow to the end of the row
Cornbread for breakfast and I plow to the end of the row

Sun just broke out over the trees
I got a aching in my back and a tremblin' in my knees
If the mules won't pull then the plow won't go
If the see don't set, crop won't grow

Chickens to the market, seven miles to town
Gotta make it home 'fore the sun goes down
Big storm coming, I can see it in the sky
Hope it don't hit 'fore the clothes get dry

I got rocks in my shoes, dirt in my eyes
Working like a dog til the day I die
You got to plaow, plow to the end of the row
I got rocks in my shoes when I plow to the end of the row

My baby's waitin' for me at the end of the day
She likes to ball the jack in the sweetest way
Gotta plow, plow to the end of the row
My baby's waitin' for me so I plow to the end of the row

Wake up in the mornin' in the moonlight grey
We got dirt to break we got a note to pay
Gonna plow, plow to the end of the row
Wake up in the mornin' and plow to the end of the row

Got a MIDI for that? If so Mmario will want to post it. You can email it to him or me? Of course I want it too. When this Shaker thing runs its course I'll need some good earthy stuff to get me going again. :~)
