Lyrics for Down On Dankin's Farm

(guitar) I ain't gonna move On that Dankin's Farm I'm gonna move From that Dankin's Farm I'm goin-a move From the Dankin's Farm Can't raise no cotton, baby Honey, even no corn Can't raise no cotton 'round here Baby, even no corn That's why I'm gon' move From that Dankin's Farm How can I plough, Captain You won't eat no corn? You wanna hear his ordinant And he won't leave out any at his calls Baby, when you marry Don't marry no farmin' man When you marry, darlin' Don't marry no farmin' man If a day beats Sunday Got a hoe held in yo hands (guitar) I'm gonna move From that Dankin Farm (guitar) I'm gonna move From that Dankin Farm (guitar) I can't raise no cotton, darlin' Honey, even no corn. (guitar to end) ~
