Plow to the End of the Row - Adrienne Young, Will Kimbrough

Wake up in the morning in the moonlight grey

We got dirt to break, we got a note to pay

Gonna plow, plow to the end of the row

Wake up in the morning and plow to the end of the row

Down to the kitchen with my feet still bare

Children to the table, papa say a prayer

Gonna plow, plow to the end of the row

Down to the kitchen, got to plow to the end of the row

Cornbread for breakfast, won’t ya boil the grinds

Got to cut the furrow 'fore the sun gets high

Got to plow, plow to the end of the row

Cornbread for breakfast and I plow to the end of the row

Sun just broke out over the trees

I got a aching in my back and a tremblin' in my knes

If the mule won’t pull then the plow won’t go If the seed don’t set, crop won’t grow

Chickens to the market, seven miles to town

Gotta make it home 'fore the sun goes down

Big storm coming, I can see it in the sky

Hope it don’t hit 'fore the clothes get dry

I got rocks in my shoes, dirt in my eyes

Working like a dog til the day I die

You got to plow, plow to the end of the row

I got rocks in my shoes when I plow to the end of the row

My baby’s waitin' for me at the end of the day

She likes to ball the jack in the sweetest way

Gotta plow, plow to the end of the row

My baby’s waiting' for me so I plow to the end of the row

Wake up in the mornin' in the moonlight grey

We got dirt to break we got a note to pay

Gonna plow, plow to the end of the row

Wake up in the mornin' and plow to the end of the row
