(Pick A Bale Of Cotton)

Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale of cotton

gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale a day

Oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton

Oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton

(On Top Of Old Smokey)

On top of old Smokey all covered with snow
I lost my true lover by courting so slow
for courtinÂ’s a pleasure and parting is brief
and a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief
on top of old Smokey all covered with snow
I lost my true lover by courting so slow

(Midnight Special)

Well, you wake up in the morninÂ’
hear the ding-dong ring
you go marchinÂ’ to the table
see the same old thing
see the fork on the table
nothing in your pan
if you say a thing about it
youÂ’re in trouble with the man

Let the midnight special
shine a light on me
let the midnight special
shine its everlovinÂ’ light on me

If you ever go to Houston
well youÂ’d better act right
and youÂ’d better not gamble
and youÂ’d better not fight
for the sheriff will arrest you
and heÂ’ll take you down
and before you understand it
you are prison bound

Let the midnight special
shine a light on me
let the midnight special
shine its everlovinÂ’ light on me
