Four Cent Cotton

Goin’ down the road, a-whoopin’ and a-hollerin’ I got drunk on four-cent cotton [ Hey, hey four-cent cotton Hey, hey four-cent cotton ] Woke up this mornin’ feelin kinda rotten, I got drunk on four-cent cotton. Times is hard, they’re gettin kinda rotten, Everybody’s sellin four cent cotton.

Footprints In The Snow

Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about Strolling through the meadow green it’s pleasant there no doubt But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground For I found her when the snow on the ground I traced her little footprints in the snow I found her […]

Foggy Mountain Top

If I’d only listened to what my mama said I would not be here today A lying around this old jailhouse Wasting my poor life away If I was on some foggy mountain top I’d sail away to the West I’d sail all around this whole wide would To the girl I love the best […]

Flying Over Water

From the sky, we look so organized and brave Walls that make up barricades and graves Daddy’s little empire, built by hands and built by slaves From the sky, we look so organized and brave In the heat, I saw you rising from the dirt Drunken tears and tugging at your skirt If only you […]

Fireball Mail

Here she comes, look at her go There she goes, eaten that coal Watch her fly, look at her sail, Let her by, by, by, the Fireball Mail Let her go, look at her steam, Here the low, whistle and scream Like a hound dog wagging its tail, Let her by, by, by, the Fireball […]

Fifteen Cents

I left my home in Tennessee, Thought I’d learn to travel, But then I met a pretty little girl And soon we played the devil I loved that gal and she loved me And I thought we’d live together But then we tied that fatal knot And now I’m gone forever. Chorus: Gimme back my […]

Fiddling Around

Up in the window light tonight Where I can see your silhouette I’ve been throwin’ little stones But I don’t believe you’ve even heard me yet Today you crossed your heart And said you’d meet me in the dark When I called you on the phone You pretended you weren’t home Hey baby, what do […]

Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town

I seem to recognize your face Haunting familiar, yet I can’t seem to place it Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name Lifetimes are catching up with me All these changes taking place I wish I’d seen the place But no one’s ever taken me Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away […]

Dyin’

I’m looking for some inspiration All my words now they come from pain Had you on my mind, now my songs began to sound the same But your touch lost its feeling mama Your lovin’ lost its warmth I felt you slipping away, When your heart began to feel torn Feels like I’m dyin’ My […]
