I saw an honest farmer,
His back was bending
low.
Picking out his cotton.
He couldn't hardly go.
He piled it up in rail
pens
Until the merchant come.
That he might take their cotton
And he might pay them
some.
Goodbye, boll weevil,
You know you've ruint my home.
You know
you've got my cotton
And the merchant's got my corn,
I saw him in the
summer,
'Twas hot as it could be.
Strolling through the harvest field.
The sweat was
running free.
He flang the cradle round him.
And gripped the golden grain.
Drew forth
his handkerchief
And wiped the sweat again.
His footsteps they growed weary
As
he marched up the hill.
Reached the little cabin
And sot upon the sill.
His wife she
knelt beside him.
Her hair turned silvery gray.
Trust now in the Savior.
We'll find a
home some day.
