john lee hooker - behind the plow lyrics

[verse 1]
i was born in mississippi out on the little country town
i was born in mississippi, ’round a little country town
livin’ on a little cotton farm, not very far from town

[verse 2]
i plow all day long, i plow from sun to sun
i plow the old gray mule, i plow all day long

[verse 3]
i be in the field at sunrise, i stay there until the sun go down
mean, mean my old gray mule, get so tired, so tired
he wanna lay down, i said “no, no, no
you can’t, you can’t lay down”
here listen, ’round about 11:30
he know when the bell gonna tone
fun to go home, eat the old hay
in the old rack, me and my old gray mule
would go all day long

[verse 4]
the bistron broke, he want to lay down
my feet was tired, i was so worried
little old country town, out in mississippi
i go every sat-rday, that old commissary
get that old meat, and old mol-sses
a load of hay, a old gray mule
he’ll be so glad, when sat-rday come
he’ll be so glad, when sunday come
he’ll be so sorry, when monday come
when monday come, when monday come
old gray mule, a old gray mule
