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
