Oh, way down South, where I was born,
Roll the cotton down!
Well, I picked the cotton on a summer's morn'
Oh, roll the cotton down !

Ref.
Roll the cotton !
Roll the cotton Moses !
Roll the cotton !
Oh roll the cotton down !

When the sun don't shine an' hans don't lay,
An' the Nigger don't work an' post don't pay.

Ref...

Oh, when I was young before the War,
We had great time on the Missisipi shore !

Ref...

When the work was over at the close of day,
Then You did hear them banjos playin' !

Ref.

But now no more, than banjo's player,
For good old times, that passed away.

Oh roll the cotton down me boys,
So roll the cotton down me boys !

Ref.
