Look over yonder hot sun turning over
Look over yonder hot sun turning over
And it won't go down Lord it won't go down

Did you ever hear the cuckoo bird a calling
Did you ever hear the cuckoo bird a calling
Sure sign of rain Lord, sure sign of rain

I've been a hammer since last December
I've been a hammer since last December
And I'm almost dead Lord, I'm almost dead

I've been a wondering if anybody wonders
I've been a wondering if anybody wonders
Talk to me, talk to me
About poor me Lord, 'bout poor me

Look over yonder hot sun turning ovеr
Look over yonder hot sun turning over
And it won't go down Lord it won't go down

Bе my woman gal, I'll be your man
Be my woman gal, I'll be your man

Everyday's a Sunday dollar in-a your hand
Everyday's a Sunday dollar in-a your hand
Hup there Rosy, hup there Rosy, hup there Rosy

Stick to the promise gal that you made me
You wasn't gonna marry till I go free

When she walk she reel and rock behind
Ain't that enough to make a convict smile
