I've got a barrel of flower lawd I've got a bucket of lard
I've got a barrel of flower lawd I've got a bucket of lard
I ain't got no blues I got chickens in my back yard

Got corn in my crib cotton growing in my patch
Got corn in my crib got cotton growing in my patch
I got the old hen a sitting waiting for the old hen to hatch

I'm gonna buy all my children a brand new pair of shoes
I'm gonna buy all my children a brand new pair of shoes
Gonna quit singing the doggone hard time blues

Cause I can make more money with my pig and my plow
Cause I can make more money with my pig and my plow
With my one eyed mule and my good old Jersey cow
