[Chorus:] Jump down, turn around to pick a bale of cotton Jump down, turn around to pick a bale a day. Jump down, turn around to pick a bale of cotton Jump down, turn around to pick a bale a day. Oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton, oh Lordy, Pick a bale a day. Oh Lordy, pick a bale of cotton, oh Lordy, Pick a bale a day. Me and my gal can pick a bale of cotton,
Me and my gal can pick a bale a day. [Chorus] Me and my wife can pick a bale of cotton, Me and my wife can pick a bale a day. [Chorus] Me and my friend can pick a bale of cotton, Me and my friend can pick a bale a day. [Chorus] Me and my papa can pick a bale of cotton, Me and my papa can pick a bale a day.
