Hardest work that ever I done, bent beneath that burning sun
        E MajorE        A augmentedA
Hauling that tobacco 'round to cure
     A augmentedA
I would chop that wicked weed, till our hands and fingers bleed
        E MajorE      A augmentedA
Working like a mule, maybe more
       D MajorD              A augmentedA
We've been farming on this land since eighteen hundred ten
     F# minorF#m          BB      E MajorE
Through flood, drought and pestilence and war
    A augmentedA
Now I sure am sad to say, that I've lived to see this day
           E MajorE          A augmentedA
And we don't grow tobacco 'round here no more

Chorus:

We don't grow , we don't grow

Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know
     D MajorD DmDm      A augmentedA
We don't grow , we don't grow
         E MajorE          A augmentedA
We don't grow tobacco 'round here no more

Grandpa told me this I know, change is comin', won't be slow
            E MajorE      A augmentedA
Knocking just like a thunder at the door
      A augmentedA
Plowed up fields are all around, empty barns just fallin' down
          E MajorE           A augmentedA
Well, Iron weeds comin' up through the floor

And all that's left are elderly and poor
