        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!
