Driva' Man

Driva' man he made a life.

But the Mamie ain't his wife.

Choppin' cotton don't be slow

Better finish out your row

Keep a movin' with that plow

Driva' man'll show ya how

Git to work and root that stump

Driva' man'll make ya jump

Better make your hammer ring

Driva' man'll start to swing

Ain't but two things on my mind

Driva' man quittin' time

Driva' man he made a life.

But the Mamie ain't his wife

Choppin' cotton don't be slow

Better finish out your row

Keep a movin' with that plow

Driva' man'll show ya how

Git to work and root that stump

Driva' man'll make ya jump

Better make your hammer ring

Driva' man'll start to swing

Ain't but two things on my mind

Driva' man quittin' time

Driva' man de kind of boss

Ride a man and lead a horse

When his cat 'o nine tail fly

You'd be happy just to die

Runaway and you'll be found

By his big old red bone hound

Pater oller bring ya back.

Make ya sorry you is black

Driva' man he made a life

But the Mamie ain't his wife

Ain't but two things on my mind

Driva' man and quittin' time
