F Hardest work that ever I done, was done beneath that burning sun G F Hauling that tobacco around to cure.
I would chop that wicked weed til my hands and fingers bleed
G F Working like a mule maybe more F F We've been farming on this land since 1810 Am F G Through flood, drought and pestilence and war F Now I sure am sad to say that I lived to see this day G F And we don't grow tobacco around here no more!
Chorus:
F F We don't grow, we don't grow G Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know F F Well, we don't grow, we don't grow G F We don't grow tobacco around here no more! F Grandpa told me this, I know Change is coming won't be slow G F Knocking just like a thunder at the door
Barren fields are all around, empty barns just falling down
G F Well Iron weeds coming up through the floor F F Once we growed it by the pound Now the kids all moved to town Am F G And all that's left are elderly and poor F Now I sure am sad to say That I will live to see this day G F And we don't grow tobacco around here no more F F We don't grow, we don't grow G Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever know F F Well, we don't grow, we don't grow G F We don't grow tobacco around here no more!
Whoooo yes I sure am sad to say This way of life has gone away
G F Now that we don't grow tobacco around here no more G F Well, No we don't grow tobacco around here no more!
