[Chorus 1][x2]
Going to jump down
Spin around
Pick a bale of cotton
Going to jump down
Spin around
Pick a bale a day

[Chorus 2]
Oh, lordy
Pick a bale of cotton
Oh, lordy
Pick a bale a day
Oh, lordy
Pick a bale of cotton
Oh, lordy
Pick a bale a day

[Bridge]
I said
Me and my buddy going to pick a bale of cotton
Now
Me and my buddy going to pick a bale a day
I said
Me and my buddy going to pick a bale of cotton
Now
Me and my buddy going to pick a bale a day
[Chorus 2]
