Oooh
Gonna take a trip this evening
Gonna go way back home
Gonna look at your past this evening

Listen to me, the slaves talkin', talkin' 'bout

Early in the morning
And it's just before dawn
Pretty soon

Gotta put my old cotton sack on, talkin' 'bout

I've been workin'
All day long
So I sit down
Wrote myself a song

Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no

Sun is shining
Pretty hard down on my black skin
Noon day sun
Wears a man's patience thin
I gotta understand
That I'm not alone
Gotta be tough, y'all
Ain't no harm to moan

Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no

Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no

Evening is fallin', yeah
And comes soon end of the day, yeah
One more time
Evening is fallin'
And pretty soon
I'll have this hoe down out of my hands

You don't have to be strong
To break the spirit in man
That's when you say you not
Doin' the best you can
You hear somebody over in the corner
Who can't get it together
You hear the weak one try cryin' out like a

Gimme water when I'm thirsty
Gimme water when I'm thirsty
Gimme water when I'm thirsty
Gimme water when I'm thirsty

Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no

Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no

Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no harm to moan
Ain't no
