Chorus:|: D G | D | D A | D :| 


Way out there in the cotton 
Sun beatin' down so hard 
Sweat rollin' of this shovel 
Diggin' in the devil's boneyard 
Sure like a cool drink of water 
Soft rag to soothe my face 
Sure like a woman to talk to in this place 

It's a hundred and ten 
Hundred and ten in the shade 
Goin' way down 
Mama won't you carry me 

Handle so hot I can't stand it 
Might shrivel up and blow away 
Noonday sun make you crazy 
Least, that's what the old men say 

Bottom land hard as a gravestone 
Couldn't cut it with an axe 
Gonna lay me down right here 
And that's a fact 

It's a hundred and ten 
Hundred and ten in the shade 
Goin' way down 
Mama won't you carry me 

Sometimes late in the evenin' 
Everything is quiet and still 
I set here and think about leavin' 
Lord, I guess I never will 
Heartache down in that city 
Bright light scares me anyway 
Sure like a woman to talk in this place 

It's a hundred and ten 
Hundred and ten in the shade 
Goin' way down 
Mama won't you carry me
