letra de mississippi summer - june tabor & oysterband
[verse 1]
my hands are as cracked as an august field
that’s burned in the sun for a hundred years
furrows so deep you could hide yourself
i ain’t planting cotton no more this year
i’ll just sit on the porch with my eagle eye
watch for a change in the wind
rows are as straight as a shotgun barrel
long as a bullet can spin
[chorus]
you know how hot it gets in mississippi
you know how dry it gets in the summer sun
the dust clouds swirl all down the delta
i just hope that i don’t die before the harvest comes
[verse 2]
black clouds gathering at the edge of town
but no rain’s gonna fall on us
hoes rise and fall in a distant field
earth takes a beating for all of us
i thought i heard the angel of death overhead
but it was only the cropduster’s plane
hoes rise and fall like the beating of wings
lord, send us freedom and rain
[chorus]
you know how hot it gets in mississippi
you know how dry it gets in the summer sun
the dust clouds swirl all down the delta
i just hope that i don’t die
hope that i don’t die before the harvest comes
