Down in louisiana
On a cotton plantation
Little tent room shack
And a third grade education

Two stringed wood guitar
I taught myself how to play, yes, i did
Kept the whole family up all night
And i told them that you'll all thank me one day
Yes, i did

My sister would scream
"boy, you just got to stop
You're waking up the whole family
Everybody is going to be hot"

Two stringed wood guitar
And i sure enough taught myself how to play
She said, "turn it down, buddy"
I said, "shut up, you're gonna thank me someday"
You're gonna thank me one day
Did you hear what i said?

That was sixty years ago
Now my mom and dad is gone
I go see my sisters and brothers
And the grand-kids come along

I give the little ones my guitar
I tell 'em, "close your eyes and play
Don't even worry about the neighbors
Y'all gonna thank me someday"

Down in louisiana
On a cotton plantation
A little tent room shack
And i only got a third grade education

That's why i taught myself
I'm telling you that's why i taught myself
How to play, yes, i did
I kept my family up all night
And now they're thanking me everyday
Oh yeah, they're thanking me everyday
