my master said if i speed up pickin' cotton
for a couple sips of water
took the water that he handed to me
my master told me to relax a couple hours
we been in these fields plowin'
'cause he always lookin' out
my master told me he was 'bout to sell my brother
and our youngest baby cousin
this owner was payin' double
had to thank him for the heads-up
this mornin' my master gave me some wickers
ayy write a couple of inches
this type of consideration is a privilege
last night i'm singin' wade in the water
