E A7
Pick a lotta cotton drag a long sack

Comin’ cross the field well I see Boss Jack
E A7
He’s a-ridin’ straddle of a single foot roan
B7 E E7
When you know that horse you’ll leave him alone

That old roan’s got green in his eyes

E7 A7
Fire in his nose and a bow in his back

E E7 A7
Now here a while back when the crop was laid by

Remember who took us on a big fish fry

Caught a heap of catfish, goggle-eye, and carp

Danced and sung to the guitar and harp
E E7 A7
Well someday ol’ Boss Jack’s gonna set us all free
