Pick A Bale Of Cotton (ver 2) by Leadbelly
Notes:
This song starts out at a decent tempo and then increases.
I would recommend finger picking, but it doesn't sound too shabby with
a little strumming. I would also recommend listening to the track to get the
picking right because the chord work isn't much. It's only 3 chords (A E D).
Hope you enjoy this classic song in the rendition of Leadbelly.
This is from a 9.5mm 1945 recording of Leadbelly, so I added what he says at the beginning.
"Now this is another work song.
When we pick cotton, you gotta jump down to pick a bale of cotton a day.
You can't fool around.
And we sang:"

Great God Almighty I can pick a bale of cotton

Great God Almighty I can pick a bale a day.
