Lyrics

(Mose allison)
I been sitting over here on parchment farm
I been sitting over here on parchment farm
I been sitting over here on parchment farm
Ain't ever done nobody no wrong

Oh lord, I bet I'll be here for the rest of my life
Oh lord, I bet I'll be here for the rest of my life
Oh lord, I bet I'll be here for the rest of my life
All I did was shoot my wife
She was no good!

I done picking that cotton in a leather foot sack
I done picking that cotton in a leather foot sack, yes I have
I done picking that cotton in a leather foot sack
A goddamn shotgun at my back

I been sitting over here on parchment farm
Ain't ever done nobody no wrong, no!

I done sitting over here on the longest time
I been sitting over here on the longest time
I done sitting over here on the longest time
All I did was drink my wine

I swear I'll be here for the rest of my life
Yeah, I know I'll be here for the rest of my life
I know I'll be here for the rest of my life
All I did was shoot your wife
She was no good, you can take my word for it!

I been sitting over here on parchment farm
I been sitting over here on parchment farm
I been sitting over here on parchment farm
All I did was shoot my arm
Oh, no!
