A
On the day you rattled up the line
E A
To work my familys land
Mama caught us smilin
E
And she took me by the hand
D
And she said what your young heart
A
See's in him I'll never understand
Cause its a sorry life to live
E A
Lovin' a share croppin' man
A
Why his back is nearly broken
E A
By the time his day is through
And his dirty hands are empty
E
When he brings 'em home to you
D
So dont come runnin back here
A
When his soil turns to sand
Its a sorry life to live
E A
Lovin' a share croppin man
A
On a cold November evenin'
E A
Cross the bitter plains we ran
Far from that old shotgun
E
In our copper weddin' bands
D
And you whispered life without you girl
A
Is more then I can stand
But its a sorry life to live
E A
Lovin' a share croppin' man
A
My back is nearly broken
E A
By the time my day is through
And my dirty hands are empty
E
When I bring them home to you
D
So remember that I warned you
A
When our soil turns to sand
Its a sorry life to live
E A
Lovin' a share croppin' man
A
On our youngest daughters finger
E A
Sits a simple copper band
The boy we worked last summers
E
Gone and asked her for her hand
D
And she said watchin you and Daddy
A
Through the years I understand
That I want to live my life
E A
Lovin' a share croppin' man
A
Well he'd sooner break his back
E A
Then break a promise made to you
And his empty hands are dirty
E
But his heart is pure and true
D
And the good Lord guides his steady plow
A
Through soil or through sand
The sweetest life to lives
E A
Lovin' a share croppin man
D
And the good Lord guides his steady plow
A
Through soil or through sand
The sweetest life to lives
E A
Lovin' a share croppin man
