Judge give me life this mornin'
Down on Parchman Farm
Judge give me life this mornin'
Down on Parchman Farm
I wouldn't hate it so bad
But I left my wife in mournin'
Oh, goodbye wife
All you have done gone
Oh, goodbye wife
All you have done gone
But I hope some day
You will hear my lonesome song
Oh, listen you men
I don't mean no harm
Oh, listen you men
I don't mean no harm
If you wanna do good
You better stay off
Old Parchman Farm
We got to work in the mornin'
Just a-dawn of day
We got to work in the mornin'
Just a-dawn of day
Just at the settin' of the sun
That's when the work is done
I'm down on old Parchman Farm
But I sho' wanna go back home
I'm down on old Parchman Farm
But I sho' wanna go back home
But I hope someday I will overcome
