Lyrics:

Gonna jump down, turn around, pick a bale o' cotton
Jump down turn around pick a bale a day
Jump down, turn around, pick a bale o' cotton
Jump down turn around pick a bale a day

Chorus:
Oh Lordy, pick a bale o' cotton
Oh Lordy, pick a bale a day
Oh Lordy, pick a bale o' cotton
Oh Lordy, pick a bale a day

Me and my gal gonna pick a bale o' cotton...
(chorus)

Peter and Tara gonna pick a bale o' cotton
Peter and Tara gonna pick a bale a day
Cindy and Franco gonna pick a bale o' cotton
Cindy and Franco gonna pick a bale a day
(chorus)
