Sharecropper's Son Songtext
von Robert Finley

Ain′t no time for education
Too much corn in the field
Ain't got time to go to school, y′all
We got too much work around here

Never had time for playin'
Never had to have no fun
Too much cotton need hoorin'
And there′s too much plowing to be done

It was hard, but it was fair
We was always out there
Out in the red hot sun
′Cause the work was never done
Oh, sharecropper's son, yeah


Workin′ from ten to ten
Out in the heat of the day
Me and my brothers, we was prayin' for rain
′Cause we still gotta haul that hay

It was hard, but it was fair
We was always out there
Out in the red hot sun
All the work was never done
Oh, sharecropper's son

It was hard, yeah
′Cause the work was never done
It was hard, yeah
Oh, sharecropper's son
Oh, sharecropper's son


It ain′t easy
′Cause the work ain't never done
It ain′t easy
Oh, sharecropper's son
Oh, sharecropper′s son
Oh, sharecropper's son
Oh, sharecropper′s son
