Parchment Farm 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!
