On the day you rattled up the line To work my familys land Mama caught us smilin And she took me by the hand And she said what your young heart See's in him I'll never understand Cause its a sorry life to live Lovin' a share croppin' man Why his back is nearly broken By the time his day is through And his dirty hands are empty When he brings 'em home to you So dont come runnin back here When his soil turns to sand Its a sorry life to live Lovin' a share croppin man On a cold November evenin' Cross the bitter plains we ran Far from that old shotgun In our copper weddin' bands And you whispered life without you girl Is more then I can stand But its a sorry life to live Lovin' a share croppin' man My back is nearly broken By the time my day is through And my dirty hands are empty When I bring them home to you So remember that I warned you When our soil turns to sand Its a sorry life to live Lovin' a share croppin' man On our youngest daughters finger Sits a simple copper band The boy we worked last summers Gone and asked her for her hand And she said watchin you and Daddy Through the years I understand That I want to live my life Lovin' a share croppin' man Well he'd sooner break his back Then break a promise made to you And his empty hands are dirty But his heart is pure and true And the good Lord guides his steady plow Through soil or through sand The sweetest life to lives Lovin' a share croppin man And the good Lord guides his steady plow Through soil or through sand The sweetest life to lives Lovin' a share croppin man
