who lived on forty acres of bad land
I remember how she laughed the day
I asked Joanna for her hand
and said she couldn't love
I would soon discover Texas tea
I told her that I loved her
and I would work my fingers to the bone
But Joanna wanted wealth and servants
Joanna didn't want me coming around
Where once stood my cabin,
I live in a southern mansion now
that stands on the ground
If there's someone coming,
I think it's Joanna that I see
Well, I haven't seen her since back
before I found my Texas tea
it's always good to see an old, friend
Yes, I still remember I loved you
and I begged you for your hand
You couldn't love the likes of me
I've got to see you find my fancy speed
I've got to see you on the Dixie Stee
