Key: D major
Verse 1
You can always make a couple bales
The cotton grows tall and
the grass does too
The Internal Revenue said
the tax was overdue
We would have to pay or else move away
They said it was a part of
a nationwide plan
The tax man came just after
Pa said he'd shoot
He said this land belongs to me,
then there's gonna be
The tax man frowned and put his
Pa started shootin'
The sheriff came, took him away
and he's bailed the pay
A
D
Forty acres of ground,
You can always make a couple bales
The cotton grows tall but
the grass does too
