G Hardest work that ever I done, was done beneath that burning sunD G Hauling that tobacco around to cure. I would chop that wicked weed til my hands and fingers bleedD G Working like a mule maybe moreC G We've been farming on this land since 1810Em C D Through flood, drought and pestilence and warG Now I sure am sad to say that I lived to see this dayD G And we don't grow tobacco around here no more! Chorus:C G We don't grow, we don't growD Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever knowC G Well, we don't grow, we don't growD G We don't grow tobacco around here no more!G Grandpa told me this, I know Change is coming won't be slowD G Knocking just like a thunder at the door Barren fields are all around, empty barns just falling downD G Well Iron weeds coming up through the floorC G Once we growed it by the pound Now the kids all moved to townEm C D And all that's left are elderly and poorG Now I sure am sad to say That I will live to see this dayD G And we don't grow tobacco around here no moreC G We don't grow, we don't growD Oh, it's still the only work we'll ever knowC G Well, we don't grow, we don't growD G We don't grow tobacco around here no more! Whoooo yes I sure am sad to say This way of life has gone awayD G Now that we don't grow tobacco around here no moreD G Well, No we don't grow tobacco around here no more!
