VERSE: The farmers of the south have spent their time/Raising cotton crops in rain or shine/Thinking of the harvest they are bound to reap/Dreaming of the crops when they fast asleep/War times put an end to their many plans/The merchants got together took them by their hands,/They worked so hard together/Send out their plea,/Its then it sounded just like this to me CHORUS: Buy a bale of cotton/I’ve bought mine/Buy a bale of cotton its good at any time/Put it in the attic or put it on the floor,/When you have the fifty you can buy one more/Buy that bale and hurry, while its around/It is mighty cheap at ten cents a pound/You may be awful busy but take the time to buy that bale of cotton now. | |
