Work at tenant farming', Jacob is my name
I work at tenant farming', Jacob is my name
I spent half my life getting' blisters, from cutting
sugar cane
Got me a son named Jimmy, got a wife named Marie
Said I got me a son named Jimmy, got a wife named
Marie
I'm getting old working in the sun all day, but she
done alright by me
She said Jimmy needs some schooling, so he doesn't end
up like you
Said Jimmy needs some schooling, so he doesn't end up
like you
But buying his books on the money I make it's a damn
hard thing to do
Mr. Jackson wants to see me, so he called me in at
four
Mr. Jackson wants to see me, but he called me in at

Well I got a brother named Virgil, he sells crack
cocaine
I got me a brother named Virgil, he sells crack
cocaine
He got rich a long time ago and he left that sugar
cane
Virgil said hey Jacob, I'll make you a deal
Virgil said hey Jacob, I'll make you a deal
I got to get some good to Appaloosas I need you behind
the wheel
W were headed south on a two lane road called highway
1-9-0
We were headed south on a two-lane road called highway
1-9-0
Mr. trooper pulled us over outside of town he said
step out nice and slow
Mr. Trooper shot poor virgule, when he tried to run
Mr. Trooper shot poor Virgil, when tried to run
But I killed Mr. Trooper, with Virgil's old shotgun
Down in Louisiana, got nothing left to lose
Down in Louisiana, got nothing left to lose
Now I'm going to Angola with these ol'Caine River
Blues
