Sharecroppin' on the McGill Trail
Sharecroppin' on the McGill Trail
You never even loved me darlin'
You never did and that's a fact
Sharecroppin' on the McGill Trail

I got a half a jug of water and an old hand-crank machine
I got a half a jug of water and an old hand-crank machine
And this sandy soil grows the best darn crops
That I ever seen

Sharecroppin' on the McGill Trail
Sharecroppin' on the McGill Trail
You never even loved me darlin'
You never did and that's a fact
Sharecroppin' on the McGill Trail

It leads to your backdoor
And no matter what I do I ain't
Going back there anymore
And that big old highway, darlin
It leads to your backdoor

Sharecroppin' on the McGill Trail
You never even loved me darlin'
You never did and that's a fact
