Hey yonder comes a cotton picker walkin’ down the road Puffin’ like a locomotive, carryin’ a load Hey mister cotton picker, what’cha gonna do? Gonna get gone away from you
Here is mister cotton picker passin’ by my shack Seems as if his back is breakin’ with a cotton sack Hey mister cotton picker, when you gettin’ paid? Reckon as soon’s the sack gets weighed He’s been pluckin’, old king cotton all day in the sun About tomorrow, sweat’s forgotten I’ve a-got another field that must be done
There goes mister cotton picker goatin’ all his pay Just a stack of snowy cotton, took him all the day Hey mister cotton picker, hope you have a ball Hope you get all that’s coming to you
