My man's over there on Parchman Farm Sittin' there on Parchman farm My man's sittin there on Parchman Farm He ain't never done nobody no harm
Puttin' that cotton in eleven foot sack Puttin' that cotton in eleven foot sack Puttin' that cotton in eleven foot sack With a twelve gage shotgun at his back
He's sittin' over there on number nine Sittin' over there on number nine Sittin' over there on number nine And all he ever did was drink his wine
Well he's gonna be there for the rest of his life He's gonna be there for the rest of his life Well he's gonna be there for the rest of his life And all he ever did was shoot his wife
