Lyrics
Old man Sargent sitting at the desk The damned old fool won't give us no rest He'd take the nickels off a dead man's eyes To buy Coca-Colas, Eskimo Pies Got the blues, got the blues I got the Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues Oh good lordy, spoolin's hard But you know, and I know, we don't have to tell You work for Tom Watson, got to work like hell When I die, don't bury me at all Hang me up on the spoolhouse wall Place a bobbin in my hand So I can keep working in the promised land Got the blues, got the blues I got the Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues Oh good lordy, spoolin's hard But you know, and I know, there's no need to tell You work for Tom Watson, got to work like hell Old man Sargent sitting at the desk The damned old fool won't give us no rest He'd take the nickels off a dead man's eyes To buy Coca-Colas, Eskimo Pies
