Oh Singer Lyrics

Oh singer sing me an old song yeah



Oh singer sing me an old song sing me an old song about cotton place



Tell me how the good earth feels down in the high white cotton yeah



Cause in my life I'll never get to walk on my knees in the fields







Oh singer sing about the railroad



Sing about the coal shovellin' on the Elliney rail



Let me get a ride afar with all the people in the depot



Cause in my life singer I'll never ride those coal black trains







Take me back oh singer take me back



I'm livin' a life I can't slow down cept with a song



And I wanna know how the people make it without big corporations



And I wanna feel how the people live when life is old







Oh singer take me to the river



Let me ride the big river boat down to New Orleans



Let me lean up aboard and wash my hands in the Mississippi water



Cause singer I can only ride that boat in a song you sing







Take me back oh singer take me back...



Oh singer sing me an old song...



In the fields
