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.] |
