Description
A song about life in this country in the early eighteen hundreds and before, I can only imagine how hard it was. I get mad as hell when I think about how we treat some of our citizens, then and now.
Lyrics
Earl Musick Here lies a man named Rufus He lived when the cotton was king He worked in the fields in the day time And freedom haunted his dreams He died in the year of 07 In the house he lived his whole life Never much for roaming Rufus took a wife Chourse He lies a man named Rufus He lived when cotton was king He worked in the fields in the day time And freedom haunted his dreams It’s been nei eighty years later His kin spread all over this land They all sing about old Rufus Cause his was cotton King Repeat chourse
