Parchment Farm

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 believe I'll be here for the rest of my life

Oh Lord, I believe I'll be here for the rest of my life

Oh Lord, I believe 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, yes I have

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!
