Parchman Farm Blues

Well a judge gave me life this morning

Down on Parchman farm

Well a judge gave me life this morning

Down on Parchman farm

Well I wouldn't hate it so bad

But I know my baby will mourn

Well now, goodbye baby now

All you have is gone

Well now, goodbye baby now

All you have done gone

But I hope someday that you will

Hear my lonesome song

Hey listen all you men now

I don't mean no harm, no

Listen all you men

I don't mean no harm, babe

But if you wanna do better

You got to stay on Parchman farm, yeah

I'm down on Parchman farm

I wanna go back home

Well I'm down on Parchman farm

I wanna go back home

But I hope someday now

That I will overcome

I will overcome

By the grace of almighty God

By the grace of almighty God

I will overcome

I will overcome

I will overcome

I will overcome
