Tom Moore's Farm Songtext
von Mance Lipscomb

Ain′t but the one thing, see what I done wrong
Ain't but the one thing, see what I done wrong

Moved my my family down on Tom Moore′s farm

Go to work in the morning, don't stop till one o'clock
Go to work in the morning, don′t stop till one o′clock
Hold back on the time Mister Tom, you can't hold back dark

Tom Moore′ll tell you, got a smile or grin
Tom Moore'll tell you, got a smile or grin
Get away from the cemetery boy, keep you from the pen


Want some money, man for Christmas eve
Want some money boys, man for Christmas eve
Ask Tom or Harry, ___ some Mister Steve

Soon in the morning, baby now so soon
Soon in the morning, baby now so soon
Dog me that Mister Tom, let someone have my room

Soon in the morning then you, get your ham and egg
Soon in the morning you will, get your ham and egg
Grin that big bill you better, check that mule′s head

Done the time come you gon', get your bread and beans
Done the time come you gon′, serve your gravy and beans
Ring that bell you better, check that boiling tin


Tom Moore got way, most in a man I like
Tom Moore got way, most in a man I like
Your woman quit you, have her brought right back
