Billy Bragg - Black Wind Blowing Lyrics

Artist: Billy Bragg

Album: Mermaid Avenue-vol Ii

  • Songwriters: Billy Bragg, Woody Guthrie

Black wind blowing in the cotton field, honey
There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, baby
There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field
And oh, how funny it makes me feel, baby, sweet thing darlin'

There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky, honey
There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky, baby
There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky
Weather's gonna break and hell's gonna fly, baby, sweet thing darlin'

Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill, honey
Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill, baby
Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill
It won't clear a greenback dollar bill, baby, sweet thing darlin'

Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, honey
Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, baby
Work shade and back to the buzzard wing
Clouds are gonna bust and cry down rain, baby, sweet thing darlin'

There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, honey
There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, baby
There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field
And oh, how funny it makes me feel, baby, sweet thing darlin'
