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
