Black wind blowing in the cotton field, honey   There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, baby   There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field   And oh how funny it makes me feel   Baby, sweet thing, darling      There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky, honey   There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky, baby   There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky   Weather's gonna break and hells gonna fly   Baby, sweet thing, darling      Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill, honey   Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill, baby   Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill   It won't clear a greenback dollar bill   Baby, sweet thing, darling      Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, honey   Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, baby   Work shade and back to the buzzard wing   Clouds are gonna bust and cry down rain   Baby, sweet thing, darling      There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, honey   There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, baby   There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field   And oh how funny it makes me feel   Baby, sweet thing, darling
