Well, twenty cents a cotton and ninety cents a meat High in the world was 4.40. Shoes up high and the cotton down low High in the world was the razor door Soles wore out and the shoes run down No slouch hat with a hole in the crown Backs made of broken and the fingers all sore Cotton gone down every ride Well, twenty cents a cotton, twenty-five dollars a pint Now who in the world's got a chance? Can't buy no clothes, can't buy no meat Got too much cotton in a nut and a feed Well, twenty cents a cotton and a ninety cents a meat High in the world was 4.40 Shoes up high and the cotton down low High in the world was the razor door [E] [A] Well, twenty cents a cotton and a [Am] carload of tax [A] The load's too heavy for our pull back We're a good set of farmers, we all know well But there's something wrong to show a rad wing when We all work hard, we grow old and sweat But we never make enough to pay our debt Fish quit biting and the rabbits run the fast But another mess of peeing, that'll be my last Well, twenty cents a cotton and a ninety cents a meat High in the world was 4.40. Shoes up high and the cotton down low High in the world was the razor door You brought up five and you're headed for Broadway Well, you grab up your hogs and you take them into town All you get's twelve or fifteen cents a pound But the very next day you have to buy it back Ninety cents a pound and a paper sack No meat in the smoke, no chicken in the [Am] yard [A] Cows gone dry and I'm plumb out the logs Well, no use talking, it might be Twenty cents a cotton and a ninety cents a meat
