Lyrics for Driva'man
Driva'man he made a life But the Mamie ain't his wife Choppin' cotton, don't be slow Better finish out your row Keep a-movin' with that plow Driva'man'll show ya how You get to work and root that stump Driva'man'll make ya jump Better make your hammer ring Driva'man'll start to swing Ain't but two things on my mind Driva'man quittin' time Driva'man he made a life But the Mamie ain't his wife Choppin' cotton, don't be slow Better finish out your row Keep a-movin' with that plow Driva'man'll show ya how Git to work and root that stump Driva'man'll make ya jump Better make your hammer ring Driva'man'll start to swing Ain't but two things on my mind Driva'man quittin' time Driva'man de kind of boss Ride a man and lead a horse When his cat 'o nine tail fly You'd be happy just to die Runaway and you'll be found By his big old red bone hound Pater oller bring your back Make you sorry you is black Driva'man he made a life But the Mamie ain't his wife Ain't but two things on my mind Driva'man and quittin' time
