Gang: Let's hook 'em, let's hook 'em now. Woah.
Early in the mornin' by the ding dong ding,
Wake up in the mornin', serve the same old thing.
Gang: Oh man, oh, oh, oh man
Wasn't I lucky last summer when I got my time,
My buddy got a hundred, I got ninety-nine.
Who's that man, buddy, on that big white hoss,
I don't know his name but they call him boss.
If you see my sister tell her pray for me,
Tell my mother don't write to me.
Tell my buddy he got to write no mo',
I got a long time ,sinner, they gonna see me no more.
Who's that man, buddy, on that big white hoss,
I don't know his name but they call him boss.
Wasn't I lucky last summer when I got my time,

If I had my pistol wouldn't do ne'er one.
If I had my pistol wouldn't do ne'er one.
Well man, oh man, here come a dangerous blue,
Here come Joe comin', keep a-walkin' through.
High top, low bottom and it won't be long,
Can't haul by here and it won't be long.
Camp I, Camp A, two leadin' farms,
Don't come to Angola, this a murder's home.
I don't want no trouble (with) the boys I know,
I don't know you buddy though you live next door.
You talk about my buddy, you talk about a dangerous blue,
If I had my pistol, be a-dangerous too.
Waterboy, waterboy, put the bucket down,
If you don't bring me no water, throw the water down.
Hear me callin’ , buddy, by the light of the moon,
Early in the mornin' by the light of the moon.
Hook that water, buddy call the waterman,
Here come the head captain with his great big gun.
Late in the evening, buddy, the sun goin' down,
We got to cut this cane, buddy, let's get it down.
Watch my buddy, buddy he start to fall,
Help that boy, won't you make it long.
Cane knives jumpin', buddy, captain, people scream, Headland, no trouble, let's .make it through.
Woah man, woah man, as you go along,
Woah man, woah man, as you go along
Late over in the evenin' by the midnight day,
We got to save this, buddy, got to save this hay.
Early in the mornin' by the ding dong ding,
Wake up in the mornin', serve the same old thing.
