Roll the Cotton Down

Oh across the west'ard I served my time
Oh roll the cotton down!
Oh across the west'ard I served my time
Oh roll the cotton down!

Oh it was in on me of the Blackball line,
Oh roll the cotton down!
Oh it was in on me of the Blackball line,
Oh roll the cotton down!Different version:
I'm bound to Alabama,
Oh roll the cotton down!
I'm bound to Alabama,
Oh roll the cotton down!
