Lyrics for Parchman Farm
My man's over there on Parchman Farm Sittin' there on Parchman Farm My man's sittin' there on Parchman Farm He ain't never done nobody no harm Puttin' that cotton in eleven foot sack Puttin' that cotton in eleven foot sack Puttin' that cotton in eleven foot sack With a twelve gauge shotgun at his back He's sittin' over there on number nine Sittin' over there on number nine Sittin' over there on number nine And all he ever did was drink his wine Well, he's gonna be there for the rest of his life He's gonna be there for the rest of his life Well, he's gonna be there for the rest of his life And all he ever did was shoot his wife
