Judge give me life this mornin′
Judge give me life this mornin'
But I left my wife in mournin′
You will tell my lonesome song
You better telephone Parchman Farm
We got to work in the mornin′
We got to work in the mornin′
Just to the sayin' if the sundown
I′m down on old Parchman Farm
But I sho' wanna go back home
I′m down on old Parchman Farm
But I sho' wanna go back home
But I hope someday I will overcome
