Sun is a-blazing down but I don't mind; I'm picking, I'm digging, it's harvest time for me.

Hive is a-buzzing in a hollow tree and I don't care if I gotta kill a little honeybee.

A minorAm                                              C majorC
Down in Texas where the cattle don't roam oil is a-dripping and the savings and loans, they bleed.
