B.T. Cotton
Elizabeth Shepherd

Turn around man, don't be caught in a corner -

he's got a plan that will keep you safe.

It's just what you need, it's the seed of a promise;

heaven's closer with a crop that pays.

Don't sell the farm just to keep your little acre;

the future's brighter than the height of day!

Just give him one season to show what you've been missing -

no other way but forward.


Too good to last …


More than one summer, you gave all he asked you -


no way to bargain with the devil's rate.

Rain mixed with blood as the soil kept on drying,

‘til it hit you like the noontime rays:

better off dead than a broke man owing -

drink the hope from the cup he made (go on, go on).

Liquid poison kept your cotton from growing,

coats your throat, now it's over …


Too good to last …
