Lyrics for Parchment Farm
(Mose Allison) I been sitting over here on Parchment Farm I been sitting over here on Parchment Farm I been sitting over here on Parchment Farm Ain't ever done nobody no wrong. Oh Lord, I bet I'll be here for the rest of my life. Oh Lord, I bet I'll be here for the rest of my life. Oh Lord, I bet I'll be here for the rest of my life. All I did was shoot my wife. She was no good! I done picking that cotton in a leather foot sack. I done picking that cotton in a leather foot sack, yes I have. I done picking that cotton in a leather foot sack. A goddamn shotgun at my back. I been sitting over here on Parchment Farm Ain't ever done nobody no wrong, no! I done sitting over here on the longest time. I been sitting over here on the longest time. I done sitting over here on the longest time. All I did was drink my wine. I swear I'll be here for the rest of my life. Yeah, I know I'll be here for the rest of my life. I know I'll be here for the rest of my life. All I did was shoot your wife. She was no good, you can take my word for it! I been sitting over here on Parchment Farm I been sitting over here on Parchment Farm I been sitting over here on Parchment Farm All I did was shoot my arm. Oh, no!
