Black Wind Blowing Lyrics - Billy Bragg

There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, honey 

There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field, baby 

There's a black wind blowing in the cotton field 

And o' how funny it makes me feel 

Baby, sweet thing, darling 

There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky, honey 

There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky, baby 

There's a long black cloud hanging in the sky 

Weather's gonna break and hells gonna fly 

Baby, sweet thing, darling 

Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill, honey 

Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill, baby 

Cotton's pretty thin yonder on the hill 

Won't clear a greenback dollar bill 

Baby, sweet thing, darling 

Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, honey 

Work shade and back to the buzzard wing, baby 

Work shade and back to the buzzard wing 

Clouds are gonna bust and cry down rain 

Baby, sweet thing darling
