about

Continuing the sharecropper theme, this was inspired my Woody Guthrie's "Black Wind Blowing," recorded by Wilco.

lyrics

Rain Don’t Follow The Plow

Heat rises in the dusty field
Toil in the rows
Pray for strength, pray for yield
Sweat and grief and tears and woe
Lackluster moon in a bloody sky
Rain don’t follow the plow

Some say the devil owns this land
Many sow his bitter seed
See here the workings of his hand
Many hungry mouths to feed
Lackluster moon in a bloody sky
Rain don’t follow the plow

False rain falls from the sky
Carrion crows take to wing
Not from heaven do they fly
Baleful tidings do they bring
Lackluster moon in a bloody sky
Rain don’t follow the plow
