4 His clo'es is full of patches, His hat is full of holes, Stoopin' down pickin' cotton, From off de bottom boll.
5 At de commissary dere His money's in deir bags,
While his po' little wife an' chillun Sit at home in rags. |

1 Work all week an' don' make enough Pay my board an' buy my snuff.
Chorus:
It's hard, it's hard,
It's hard on we po' farm(ers).
It's hard.
2 Work all week, in the noonday sun 3 Fifteen cents when Sat'day come.
3 Every morning when I wake up, Got to feed my horse and all day cut.
4 Every night when I get home, Peas in the pot and a old jawbone.
