Lyrics for Parchman Farm

Well I'm sittin' over here on Parchman Farm Well I'm sittin' over here on Parchman Farm Well I'm sittin' over here on Parchman Farm And I ain't never done no man no harm Well I'm puttin' that cotton in an eleven foot sack Well I'm puttin' that cotton in an eleven foot sack Well I'm puttin' that cotton in an eleven foot sack With a twelve guage shotgun at my back I'm sittin' over here on Number Nine I'm sittin' over here on Number Nine Well I'm sittin' over here on Number Nine And all I did was drink my wine Well I'm gonna be here for the rest of my life I'm gonna be on this farm for my natural life Well I'm a gonna be here for the rest of my life And all I did was shoot my wife I'm sittin' over here on Parchman Farm
