Burnin’ the Woodshed Down

Summer sun is swinging low Out here in the cotton row Surrounded by my sorrow Summer sun is swinging low Ain’t no mother for my brother and me Lost her back in 63 Drowned herself in a sea of Jim Beam Ain’t no mother for a brother and me Hook So I’m burnin’ the woodshed down Going to burn it to the ground Going to kick the ashes all around I’m burnin’ the woodshed down Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue Broke his hickory stick in two God only knows what I’m bound to do Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue Hook So I’m burnin’ the woodshed down Going to burn it to the ground I’m going to kick the ashes all around I’m burnin’ the woodshed down I’m going to show that man just want I mean Pour out this can of kerosene I’m going to toss a match into the breeze I’m going to show that man just want I mean Hook Hey I’m burnin’ the woodshed down Going to burn it to the ground I’m going to kick the ashes all around I’m burnin’ the woodshed down I’m going to kick the ashes all around I’m burnin’ the woodshed down
